Pioneer®
brand Y Series soybeans have been selected as AgProfessional
magazine readers’ choice for 2008 “New Product of the Year.”
The selection was made from a recent vote by
AgProfessional
readers among 10 products introduced into the agriculture
marketplace in 2008. Voting was based on a product’s potential
for impact on the agricultural industry and the amount of news
and information disseminated about the product.
"The Y Series from Pioneer has represented a step-change in
soybean productivity," said Paul Schickler, Pioneer president
and DuPont vice president and general manager. "With the Y
Series yield advantage, this new line has the potential to add
about 19 million bushels of soybeans into U.S. production. In a
time of tight supplies and soaring demand, that is a strong
boost for producers and the industry."
AgProfessional is a publication directed to agriculture
retailers, certified crop advisors, farm managers and
independent crop consultants. Click
