Pioneer is moving quickly to Extend soybeans, and that is where their breeding effort and development
is currently.
This is interesting, as they are now trying to combine with Dow, who has the Enlist system, and that
is not in their plans. This came from a Pioneer acct. mgr. this fall.
I agree this will be interesting to watch in the coming years. I personally am much more excited about Enlist then Extend.
Through the right providers we farmers currently have access to top tier genetics in every trait platform, but that just might mean looking at a different supplier then a person is currently using for some of those options.
+2...it would be interesting to know what the share of liberty acres are over the last 3 years. I honestly thought they'd be more prevalent in my neck of the woods, but not that many. On the chemical side, I'd choose 2-4D over dicamba any day of the week. Dicamba comes with too much baggage, much more prone to inversions and volatilization. Pioneer also has a nasty habit of shooting it's own breeders in the foot.
