We toured seed production fields of GEI hybrids at the end of August. We were pleased with the seed yield prospects of the hybrids under production. We expect ample amounts of seed of our new conventional hybrid GEI 9717. We also expect sufficient amount of seed of our high lysine specialty hybrids, GEI 101 lys, and GEI 9887 lys. We should have a good amount of GEI 9700 waxy and our high carotenoid hybrid, GEI 2318. Seed harvest starts in early September to stay ahead of any possible freeze that can damage the seed. With the changes in the weather patterns, this has not been a problem as the probability of early frost has diminished.
