Overview
Forget T-bills and mutual funds. Pioneer Hi-Bred International, a subsidiary of chemical giant DuPont, guarantees the best yields around. One of the world's largest commercial seed producers, Pioneer uses genetic research to develop hybrid seeds designed to produce higher crop yields for farmers. The company produces seed for soybean, sunflower, canola, rice, sorghum, alfalfa, and wheat, as well as forage and grain additives. It also offers an array of ag services, including crop management and agronomy. The company's acquisition by DuPont in 1999 allowed Pioneer to grow its development efforts by tapping into DuPont's considerable research capabilities and wealth. Pioneer now has customers in 70 countries.
