With beadciuarters located in Iowa, PIONEER’S extensive hybrid 
corn breeding program reaches throughout tlie Corn Belt. The largest 
and most important PIONEER breeding station is situated nine miles 
nortliwest of lies Moines near Johnston, Iowa, where Iowa’s first breed¬ 
ing work on hybrid corn was started over a quarter-century ago by 
founders of the Pioneer Hi-Bred Corn Company. It is at Johnston that 
much of the primary work on inhreds and experimental crosses for the 
North-central, South-central and Southern Corn Belt is conducted. 
PIONEER maintains a separate corn Ineeding unit at Algona, Iowa, 
for the development and production of Northern Corn Belt hybrids. 
This branch is one of the largest corn breeding stations in the Corn 
Belt devoted solely to the breeding of early maturing hybrid corn. 
The thousands of farmers who plant PIONEER every year receive 
the profitable benefits of superior corn breeding . . . they take pride 
in corn that outyields their neighbor’s field . . . corn that stands up 
better and looks better . . . and corn that puts money in the hank.
