Here at Our Local Plant Breeding Centers

Pioneer takes a differentiated approach to local breeding programs. Our scientists live and work in the communities that host our strategically located breeding centers. This creates an extremely accurate picture of product performance in the local environment. It’s a critical step in our drive to create seed innovations that are ideal for each farmer’s growing conditions.

Pioneer Researchers

Troy Deutmeyer, Field Agronomist, IA

- "I connect growers with local breeders to allow product development and selection that fits the customer’s geography and management style."

Jill Lennon, Research Scientist, GA

- "A local program really allows you to see the issues farmers face. Their problems are the same problems I have in my yield tests and inbred trials."

Polly Longenberger, Research Scientist, PA

- "It’s uncommon for competitors to have a breeding program in the Northeast. This gives Pioneer an advantage as we bring new products to the region."

Reid Rice, Research Logistics Lead, OH

- "Teams are familiar with local soil types and local management practices, which results in selection of superior products for that region."

Brandon Wardyn, Corn Evaluation Leader, NE

- "We actively seek out feedback from our growers. That feedback is taken in and strategy is adjusted real-time to ensure success."

Crystal Williams, Field Agronomist, IL

- "Our breeders know our environment. We work together to find what will be successful for our customers’ acres."
