Pioneer® brand Y Series soybeans have been selected as AgProfessional magazine readers’ choice for 2008 “New Product of the Year.”  The selection was made from a recent vote by AgProfessional readers among 10 products introduced into the agriculture marketplace in 2008. Voting was based on a product’s potential for impact on the agricultural industry and the amount of news and information disseminated about the product.

"The Y Series from Pioneer has represented a step-change in soybean productivity," said Paul Schickler, Pioneer president and DuPont vice president and general manager.  "With the Y Series yield advantage, this new line has the potential to add about 19 million bushels of soybeans into U.S. production. In a time of tight supplies and soaring demand, that is a strong boost for producers and the industry."

AgProfessional is a publication directed to agriculture retailers, certified crop advisors, farm managers and independent crop consultants.  Click here to read about the selection of Pioneer Y Series soybeans as the “New Product of the Year.”
