Pioneer brand corn products provided National Corn Growers Association Yield Contest participants with big wins in 2016. Overall, the NCGA awarded seven national and 199 state titles to growers who used Pioneer brand seed and entered the annual National Corn Yield Contest.

“Our 2016 NCGA title winners demonstrate that our continued investment in germplasm and trait packages, coupled with support from an unmatched team of local Pioneer professionals, are helping growers achieve maximum productivity,” said Steve Reno, DuPont Pioneer vice president, regional director – U.S. and Canada. “Advances in our corn research program are bringing a higher rate of genetic gain to customers. This, combined with increased local testing, is improving yield potential for growers across the Corn Belt.”
