Pioneer® Brand Hybrids in theI997NCGA Yield Contest
Weigh Beyond Anything Else
Growers who have planted Pioneer® brand hybrids in their contest fields over the years have had excellent results.
In this year’s 1997 National Com Growers Association (NCGA) yield contests, growers using Pioneer hybrids
captured more firsts in the national contest than any other brand. In fact, out of a total of 27 firsts, seconds and
thirds, Pioneer hybrids won 23! But, the real winners are the contest participants. The people who put the sweat
and toil into doing the best job of com growing they know how.
We salute all those growers who entered this year’s contest. Here’s how Pioneer hybrids performed in this area:
