CruiserMax beans prior to Feb th: $. CruiserMax beans after Feb th: $. New Era In Agriculture New materials, new machines and new methods are rapidly revolutionizing American agriculture. Many more new ideas, now being developed and improved will soon be beyond the experimental stage. While we will maintain our tried and true methods for producing top quality seed corn, we are actively engaged in genetic engineering through our inbred seed suppliers. We will continue to keep up with the changing needs of our farmer friends and will always try to render solid dependable service.

4 Due to market fluxuation, published prices are subject to change at any time. Earlier planting into cooler soils requires seed with better cold tolerance. Planting at higher populations in narrow rows requires plants with good disease resistance. Epley s is selecting hybrids with improved cold tolerance and an updated disease package to go along with the high yields and great standability of our present hybrids.

IMPORTANT IRM INFORMATION: Genuity RIB Complete corn blend products do not require the planting of a structured refuge except in the Cotton-Growing Area where corn earworm is a significant pest. See the IRM/Grower Guide for additional information. Always read and follow IRM requirements. Roundup Technology includes Monsanto's glyphosate-based herbicide technologies. ALWAYS READ AND FOLLOW PESTICIDE LABEL DIRECTIONS. Roundup Ready crops contain genes that confer tolerance to glyphosate, the active ingredient in Roundup brand agricultural herbicides. Roundup brand agricultural herbicides will kill crops that are not tolerant to glyphosate.

39 SEED METER, VACUUM AND BULK SETTINGS Seed Singular Settings: The Advanced Seed Meter will accurately plant most seeds. The chart is a guideline to help optimize performance. It provides the range setting for seed sizes best suited for respective Discs. IMPORTANT: If your seed meters are equipped with the older style singulator that uses a lever instead of a dial for adjustment, divide the singulator setting value from this chart in half. Advanced Seed Meter Recommended Settings(e) TABLE NOTES: a. Seed Disc designation indicates number of holes and hole diameter; i.e. seed Disc contains holes with each hole diameter of. mm. b. Vacuum level is set by controlling fan speed control with seed on Disc. Setting is in inches of water (inch H). c. Meter cover indicates baffle position number. Meter inspection without draining seed can be made when baffle is set to position (fully closed). d. Do not use Singulator dial (lever) settings to control gross population; excessive doubles or skips will occur. Higher dial setting decreases singulator interference with seed Disc holes. e. Use the Seed Population/Spacing Chart and Seed Disc RPM Chart in this Section to determine Disc RPM.

48 INCREASE YOUR PROFITS WITH NEW SOYBEAN SEED Several University tests have shown that new seed yields an average more than bin run seed and bin run seed is usually planted at a % higher seeding rate to achieve the same plant population as new seed. Our professionally handled and rigorously tested seed has very few splits, foreign matter, or weed seed and has current high germination tests. The high standards of our companyʼs seed allow us to back the seed with our own replant policies. Our company provides dealer support before and after the sale. Using this new seed provides the highest quality top yielding elite germplasm with the newest traits available. Epley Brothers Hybrids recommends planting new soybean seed each year to ensure top quality and the newest genetics to give you the grower maximum yield potential. Most soybeans are still covered by a variety patent, and you will not be able to save and plant the seed from those varieties without a license giving you that added right. Check with your seed supplier before saving. Buying new seed every year is good business. It insures varietal purity, top germination, and the latest advances in new product lines. --

Roundup Ready crops contain genes that confer tolerance to glyphosate, the active ingredient in Roundup brand agricultural herbicides. Roundup brand agricultural herbicides will kill crops that are not tolerant to glyphosate. Seed containing a patented trait can only be used to plant a single commercial crop from which seed cannot be saved and replanted. Examples of seed containing a patented trait include but are not limited to Genuity Roundup Ready Yield soybeans, and Roundup Ready Xtend soybeans. Additional information and limitations on the use of these products are provided in the Monsanto Technology Stewardship Agreement, the Monsanto Technology Use Guide, and Technology Use Guide Addendum to include Roundup Ready Xtend Soybean.

DO NOT APPLY DICAMBA HERBICIDE IN-CROP TO Roundup Ready Xtend Soybeans IN unless you use a dicamba herbicide product that is specifically labeled for that use in the location where you intend to make the application. While no in-crop use of dicamba is currently approved, some dicamba products may be labeled for weed control prior to planting a crop and subject to minimum plant back restrictions. IT IS A VIOLATION OF FEDERAL AND STATE LAW TO MAKE AN IN-CROP APPLICATION OF ANY DICAMBA HERBICIDE PRODUCT ON Roundup Ready Xtend Soybeans, OR ANY OTHER PESTICIDE APPLICATION, UNLESS THE PRODUCT LABELING SPECIFICALLY AUTHORIZES THE USE. Contact the U.S. EPA and your state pesticide regulatory agency with any questions about the approval status of dicamba herbicide products for in-crop use with Roundup Ready Xtend Soybeans and follow all pesticide product labeling. --
