Press Releases

 Stine Seed Company® rolls out its 2010 lineup with the most elite, highest- yielding corn and soybean genetics ever seen by the company. Nearly double the size of the 2009 seed lineup, the 2010 lineup includes some of the most sought-after genetics in the industry.

 “Stine corn and soybean seeds are engineered to deliver consistently high yields through superior genetics and industry-leading traits,” says David Thompson, National Marketing and Sales Director for Stine Seed Company. “Our grower-customers demand more than superior genetics and we think our 2010 lineup gives them exactly what they want – world-class genetics and a wide selection of the industry’s best traits.”

 Highlights of Stine’s 2010 corn and soybean catalog include:

• Stine features 14 new LibertyLink® Soybeans in this year’s catalog, bringing the total LibertyLink offerings for 2010 to 21 varieties, ranging in maturity from 09 to 50.
• GenuityTM Roundup Ready 2 Yield™ Soybeans appear with 44 new varieties for 2010. They range from 04 to 48 maturities.  Stine also has 52 traditional Roundup Ready® soybeans in the catalog, including 13 new for 2010.
• Stine also continues to offer one of the industry’s best selections of conventional (non-GMO) soybeans, with 20 Elite® Soybeans for 2010.
• Joining the 22 Yieldgard VT Triple™ Corn hybrids are four new Stine Genuity™ Yieldgard VT Triple Pro™ hybrids. Genuity YieldGard VT Triple Pro offers reduced refuge for southern growers, and greater protection against damaging corn earworm.  Both of these lines are approved for reduced crop insurance premiums through the Biotech Yield Endorsement.
• Stine’s other corn offerings include RoundupReady® Corn 2, YieldGard® Plus with Roundup Ready Corn 2, YieldGard Corn Borer® with Roundup Ready Corn 2, YieldGard Corn Borer, Herculex® I Corn, Herculex® Xtra Corn, Agrisure® GT and three Stine conventional hybrids.
