Processor Preferred High Fermentable Corn (HFC) hybrids can deliver higher levels of fermentable starch, which allows dry mill ethanol plants to obtain higher ethanol yields for greater profit potential. 4M55-PL, 4M55-T and 6M15-VT3 are HFC hybrids.
Processor Preferred High Extractable Starch (HES) hybrids can deliver higher levels of extractable starch, which allows corn wet millers to produce higher starch yields that they can turn into products that include high fruc- tose corn syrup, corn oil, specialty starch products, commodity starches and ethanol. 4L82 is a HES hybrid.
