Narrative
A679 is an early version of B73 developed by an early by late procedure, backcrossing to B73 three times. Silking is about 8-10 days earlier than B73. It combines well with Lancaster germplasm and some early B14 types. Out-performs B73 by 30% with about 5% less moisture. High kernel row with small seed. Lodging similar to B73. Adapted to South-central and North-central Minneosta. (University of Minnesota Agriculture Experiment Station Release of Corn Inbred Lines, May 1987)
