This time of the year, Justin Gifford is walking fields to understand what issues farmers are facing, and he's then taking that knowledge back to the lab. He works as a specialist breeding corn seed for Pioneer. During this episode of the Illinois Agronomy Podcast, he talks about benefits of some of the new corn and soybean products (Vorceed Enlist and Powercore Enlist) from Pioneer. Some of the new options are helping plants hold up better to wind, drought, weeds and pests.
