BACK TO THE FUTURE (OF CORN)

Corn breeders must always have their eyes on the future, while still learning from the past. Whether it’s changes in field conditions, a shift in farmer needs or the emergence of new pests, the development of new hybrids needs to not only keep up, but be able to anticipate and adapt. In this episode, Matt gets a glimpse into the future of Pioneer corn from Neil Hoss, North American Corn Product Manager, and Matt Smalley, leader of a new group in Research called Agriculture Systems Design and Optimization.
