| "We tried a field of AM 1550 B2RF in 2007, which was an extremely dry year, especially in August. Even though the irrigated field had some drainage problems, it still averaged 1,164 pounds per acre, hitting 3 bales in some spots on the yield map. It also had excellent grades, 34 to 34 staple and 3.5 to 4.2 micronaire. Additionally, AM 1550 B2RF performed very well in the Missouri OVT at Senath; their soils are similar to ours. With that said, I the variety is worth a second look. I like this Bollgard II/Roundup Ready Flex cotton because it is fairly early and easy to manage."

| "I started making three-bale cotton when I started growing AM 1532 B2RF. For three years now, AM 1532 B2RF has consistently averaged three bales per acre and has done so with light water. Additionally, AM 1532 B2RF offers excellent fiber quality. In 2007, AM 1532 B2RF loaned at more than 58 cents; it had 36s and 37s staples and the strength was in the 30s. AM 1532 B2RF is easy to manage, even with my light water."
