2 Project Seed 2018 Greetings, This year Project Seed will be adding various products to the 2018 lineup. We will now be offering several maturities of Glyphosate Resistant (Roundup Ready ) seed corn varieties. This product expansion will allow Project Seed to better serve the agriculture community. Also, we now will be carrying more forage and cover crop options as well. New for 2018 Five New Glyphosate Resistant Hybrids Cover Crops Wider Variety of Forage Options New Rapid Growth Alfalfa Line Three New High Performance Conventional Corn Hybrids A FEW PROJECT SEEDS CUSTOMERS: I ve used Project Seeds conventional seed corn and alfalfa for a lot of years and can tell you my crops look as good and a lot of years better than many of the farms that use the higher priced name brands that are heavily advertised. Paul Rozwadowski Dairy Farmer/Crop Farmer Stanley, WI With the lower prices for milk and corn you need to be conscious of your input costs. I ve been using Project Seeds conventional corn for 3 years and find it more than competes with the nationally advertised brands that I plant next to the Project Seeds brand. Richard Herr Dairy Farmer/Crop Farmer Greenwood, WI Project Seeds products have always performed as described. The Commander alfalfa has worked exceptionally well for the last 10 years. Seed quality has been excellent too. Wayne Gajewski Dairy Farmer/Crop Farmer Athens, WI I have used Project Seeds corn and alfalfa seed since My cows perform well on the Project Seeds white cob silage corns. The cows eat everything absolutely no bunk sorting. You can t beat the price of the seed which helps when commodity prices are low. Bernard Deitelhoff Dairy farmer Cazenovia, WI

6 ALFALFA SEED Alfalfa Seed Speedy Alfalfa $189 Like the name implies SPEEDY has the fastest regrowth of any alfalfa out there. New genetics mean you can have rapid regrowth AND excellent winter survival. SPEEDY was developed using some of the same genetics as our new HDA 200 LO- LIGNIN alfalfa. This gives SPEEDY the high yield of fast regrowth PLUS high quality alfalfa. We suggest SPEEDY be used on farms that have the ability to bale or chop it as soon as possible after cutting. The alfalfa begins growing immediately after it is cut so must be removed from the field as soon as possible. COATED SEED HDA 200 Lo-Lignin $229 Improved fiber digestibility for more milk per ton production. Greater harvest window to allow a flexible harvest schedule. COATED SEED Secure BR Branch Root Alfalfa $178 Secure BR is highly resistant to pathogens in wet soils,which includes Aphanomyces root rot (race 2). with a root system designed to keep more of the root system above the water table, helping the plant survive when freezing and thawing occur. It is a multi-leaf Alfalfa. DC303ML Brand Alfalfa $145 New variety of multi leaf alfalfa developed for cooler soil types. Good disease resistance. Tolerates areas of heavy dews, cooler temps and early frosts. Comes out of dormancy later, reducing cutting schedule and producing good yields even in cooler climates.

Year in and year out it will produce top-end yields while giving you top quality feed as well. Plant it.
