Dow Jones Description
Company founder Henry A. Wallace's interest in and understanding of corn genetics prompted him to improve farmers' yields by discrediting a belief that row uniformity, kernel shape and length were predictors of yield. His science-based approach helped revolutionize agriculture through increased yield and productivity. Through the decades, Pioneer has remained true to that original goal of increasing the productivity and profitability of our customers everywhere by technological innovation.
