Western Hybrids
Corn hybrids proven
in western fields
308 hybrids enter our program every year. Fewer than 10% advance. What reaches your planter has already earned it.
Positioning
Chosen for your environment
Western corn ground is its own world — elevation, irrigation, heat units and harvest windows that a Midwest-focused catalog was never built around.
Our hybrids are selected on data collected across 33 planned research locations in the western United States for 2026. Tested and proven to give the best results in our environment — not a recommendation from a Midwest-focused brand.
- Screened against western trial data before a hybrid is ever offered.
- Positioned field by field with your territory manager.
- Silage and grain conversations handled by people who walk these fields.

Reading the lineup
Traits and nomenclature
Every Western Hybrids trait code is built the same way. The first character tells you the herbicide tolerances. The second and third characters tell you the insect resistance.
Worked example
5DR2290
Herbicide tolerance — glyphosate and glufosinate.
Insect resistance — broad lepidopteran and corn borer.
The series. Relative maturity for every series is listed in the lineup above.
One series can be offered in several trait packages. The 889 series, for example, appears in the lineup as 0C-889, 5D-889 and 5TE-889 — the same genetic family with three different trait options. Use the tables below as a guide and ask your representative for current trait-package details.
First character — herbicide tolerance
Denotes the presence or absence of a transgenic herbicide tolerance event.
| Code | Herbicide tolerances |
|---|---|
| 0 | No herbicide tolerances |
| 3 | Glyphosate tolerance |
| 5 | Glyphosate and glufosinate tolerance |
| 7 | 2,4-D choline, glyphosate, glufosinate and FOP herbicide tolerance |
Second and third characters — insect resistance
Denotes the presence or absence of a transgenic insect resistance event.
| Code | Insect resistance |
