A new feature on the
Pioneer
GrowingPoint® website offers growers a chance to review tips
and suggestions from their fellow farmers. “Growing Perspective”
serves as a forum for Pioneer customers and growers to read
helpful hints and insights from their peers.
“Growing Perspective” showcases
knowledge from Kip Cullers, Purdy, Mo., the 2006 world record
holder for soybean production. Users who log on to the
GrowingPoint website will find a section to submit questions to
Cullers. He will answer the most popular inquiries and post the
responses on the site on a regular basis throughout the growing
season. This section also includes a video on Cullers; pictures
show Cullers’ management practices.
Additionally, Eric Luhring, Dike,
Iowa, and Brian Schaumberg, Chenoa, Ill., provide insight to
crop management for corn after corn. Both Luhring and Schaumberg
hail from areas where corn acres are expanding from the
traditional “50/50” corn-soybean rotation and will offer
insights on this approach to fellow growers. The corn-after-corn
section features topics such as pre-planting, management
practices, scouting tips and more.
“We see ‘Growing Perspective’ as a great forum for growers to
learn more about what their peers are doing, in their own areas
and states, as well as in other areas of the Corn Belt,” says
Jeff Talmadge, e-business coordinator, Pioneer. “This
information, partnered with other timely topics featured on
GrowingPoint, allows Web users and Pioneer to connect in order
to provide information and helpful tips for soybean and corn
growers.”
Future additions to the “Growing Perspective” section include
suggestions and insights from a Pioneer forage producer.
Users can access this new forum by

also is available from your local Pioneer sales representative.
