PROFILE |
 |
Forget T-bills and CDs. Pioneer Hi-Bred International, a subsidiary of chemical giant DuPont, guarantees the best yields around. The world's largest producer of corn and soybean seeds, Pioneer uses genetic research to develop hybrid seeds designed to produce higher crop yields for farmers, who sell their crops primarily as feed for animals. The company makes seed (hybrid and other varieties) for corn and soybeans as well as alfalfa, canola, sorghum, sunflowers, and wheat. Pioneer also makes silage (succulent feed) and hay inoculants. It controls 42% of the North American corn seed market; it also sells seed in nearly 70 other countries.
