Centre county Pennsylvania, USA | We did dump Pioneer this year (2016) . We ordered all of our 2016 corn and soybean seed from Pioneer last fall, 60 % non-GMO corn. This spring Pioneer dealer advised that they received a total of 4 bags of non-GMO corn seed from mother Pioneer, but they would substitute our non-GMO order with GMO for same price as non-GMO. That was a non-acceptable offer to us, we want non-GMO corn. So, we canceled entire Pioneer seed order, including all corn and soybean seed and found a (non-Pioneer) source that delivered all of the non-GMO corn seed we wanted. Now, if the weather permits it will go in the ground next week.
We also have more than 30 year history of Pioneer corn, but that history ended this year, after becoming wiser. |
