Pure crap, I've tested this variety in three different years. In two different sites, sure you get good emergence, and early results but after that don't count on the ears being anywhere close to the 7 1/2 inches they advertise. You spend more on the seed than you'll ever make at the market paying for the care and amount of money spent on seed which is by the way higher than I'd recommend. If this was for a gardener needing a short season white, who doesn't care about ear size, go for it. But for the cost of money on the seed I'd be hard pressed to buy it again.
