What Our Experts Say

Ambition Maize
“I drilled all the fields with the two varieties side by side and throughout the season the Ambition was stronger. At harvest, it was over 30cm taller and the fields all looked like waves. The cobs were also bigger on the Ambition plants, meaning I had compromised quantity and quantity by not sticking to Ambition"
Dairy farmer, Devon
