DLF ExPect LFF
ExPect LFF is a corn hybrid with a 94-day relative maturity. It offers excellent seedling vigor, emergence, and early-season development. This full floury leafy corn silage option provides maximum rumen-available starch. White cobs provide extremely high feedout with no cob disks. Plants demonstrate high quality forage, good stress tolerance, and very tall height. They also show very good root and stalk strength and husk cover for kernel protection. They are adaptable to a wide range of soil types.
