Benefits of Research & Development

The industry's best corn and soybeans starts with the world's most advanced breeding programs. Stine is focused on developing improved corn and soybean seed through research and development at both the germplasm and traits levels. Stine's philosophy is simple: yield is what counts because yield is what the elevator pays our farmer customers for. As a result, every trait, every feature of every new line released is selected because – at its core – it has outstanding yield potential.

Stine has grown to become the most respected, highest-yielding soybean brand in the industry ‹ releasing more than 200 new soybeans in the past decade. And the company continues to lead the world in the development of new and better varieties. Stine and its associated companies screen nearly 1 million unique varieties each year in what has become the world¹s largest private soybean breeding program - holding nearly 800 seed, breeding and equipment patents.
