Nickerson Maize varieties for the UK come from the enormously successful Limagrain Genetics (LG) programmes in France. The LG/Nickerson partnership is the leading supplier of maize varieties throughout most of Europe's major maize markets.

 In addition to the breeding programmes, LG has made a major investment in the study of Animal Nutrition. Understanding how maize silage is utilised by the cow is of fundamental importance in selecting varieties to enhance milk production. LG varieties in the UK are characterised by massive yields of highly palatable silage, and have been designed to help lower unit costs of milk production.
