Johan Swan from the Swan Farming Group recently lived up to his name in Barkly West, wading through his flooded PAN 3P–924PW yellow maize fields like a true swan.
What followed was just as remarkable – a video of Johan “swimming” through a sea of harvested maize. Despite the flood, the crop held strong and delivered a solid yield.
Pannar’s representative, Charlie de Beer, caught up with Johan to see the results for himself – a harvest worth diving into.
The PAN 3P-924PW yellow maize hybrid is part of Pannar’s quickest platform. This ultra-early range produces an attractive grain type that dries down rapidly. It has maintained excellent high-yield potential and stability over seasons, making it the market-leading irrigation platform. It is also suitable for high-potential dryland production.
With its upright leaf structure, this platform is ideal for higher plant populations and maintains excellent standability. It also features a semi-flex ear type, which is advantageous under high potential conditions. A preventative fungicide programme is recommended in higher disease-pressure environments.
