I have a local seed grower/dealer that's been in business over 50 years. While they get the new traits from a big company, they have always produced their own seed lines of corn.
It is very good corn, it stands _very_ well, it yields as well or better than the Dekalb & Mycrogen corn I compare it to in my test plots, and it stands much better than any Pioneer grown around here. Only thing I give up is moisture - the local company's corn can be 2% more moisture, which is noticable in a fall like this one. My soils are very clay, peat, muck, alkili (sp?) and ear drop and stalk strength is a _very_ important issue for me in my conditions, and this small company has done very well for me year in & year out - they have a very tough, high yielding corn that fits my conditions well.
Last year the RR corn was under $150 a bag to me.
I haven't checked prices this year - I alway go pick it up & pay for it in April, a week or 2 before I plant it. They don't get into pushy sales, & I can go to the 'factory' 25 miles away & pick it up & pay for it when I want. My dad bought from their dad back in the day. Nice family to deal with, with a good product with good value.

I have picked up and attempted to read every auto and farm electrics book with no improvement in the situation. They all seem to start with a chapter entitled "Theory of Electricity". After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
