- I think "our" was meant to be "out" above. —BarrelProof (talk) 19:22, 5 June 2019 (UTC)
Other issues
editThe first sentence is completely wrong. Pioneer is not the largest seed company, Monsanto is. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.255.174.142 (talk) 03:05, 27 March 2008 (UTC)
You have total revenues ONLY for 1999???!!! It is now 2010, at least you should have the total revenues for 2008. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.63.200.23 (talk) 20:08, 6 March 2010 (UTC)

Pioneer Hybrid International → Pioneer Hi-Bred International – The correct name of the company uses "Hi-Bred", not "Hybrid". The name "Hi-Bred" is an intentional pun/variation of "Hybrid".

- Move to DuPont Pioneer. See the articles mentioned at the bottom of the Bloomberg profile linked above – they refer to the company as "DuPont Pioneer". The proposed name seems too unwieldy to be the WP:COMMONNAME. The company also self-identifies as "DuPont Pioneer" on its website's "Contact us" page here and in press releases here and here. Another possibility could be Pioneer (seed company). —BarrelProof (talk) 19:20, 5 June 2019 (UTC)
- Comment: This business seems to be part of what became an independent company called Corteva just a few days ago (June 3, 2019). It seems potentially unclear what name it will be known by in the future. —BarrelProof (talk) 22:57, 10 June 2019 (UTC)

Casady family
editBianca and Sierra Casady of the band CocoRosie have said that their father Timothy Casady "came from an Iowa farm family, and he himself started out as a farmer" who "was trying to farm organic in a distinctly nonorganic culture." The New York Times article mentions their skepticism of their father's claim that "the F.B.I. ran him out of town because agro-business felt too threatened by his finding all these herb-based pesticides." Timothy Casady's father Simon Wheeler Casady III was a major shareholder for Pioneer and his great-grandfather Simon Casady Jr. was a co-founder of Pioneer along with Henry A. Wallace and others. I was curious as to whether or not Timothy Casady ever worked for Pioneer and why/how he ended up in organic farming despite being from a family that gained their wealth from GMOs. I've looked for sources, but can't find any. Bohemian Baltimore (talk) 09:14, 31 December 2023 (UTC)
