It appears members on this panel will discuss not only seed quality but also considerations for variety selection. The selection of planting seed and variety is a very important decision. Growers will have the opportunity to make numerous production decisions multiple times during the season. Among these are three or four fertility decisions, four or five weed control decisions and many insect control decisions. The decision regarding what variety to plant will be made one time and from that point forward the grower will live with it. Great and careful consideration must be given to this important decision as it will impact all other decisions made.
