About the Pioneer® Brand Soybean

John Soper, Pioneer soybean research director, talks about the science behind "bred to yield" and "built to defend."

Bred to Yield
Harvestable yield continues to be the most valued trait by soybean producers. Researchers at Pioneer are investigating both transgenic and molecular breeding solutions to positively impact overall soybean yield.
