Website features crop production information
Pioneer Hi-Bred International, Inc., a subsidiary of DuPont, Des Moines, Iowa, announced its newest addition to the Pioneer GrowingPoint website.
Following Growers From Around the Globe, reports the crop production activities of selected growers from the northern and southern hemispheres. The information provides access to elite producersâ management practices as well as market and weather challenges they face during crop development. In essence, this special feature allows all GrowingPoint website users to meet farmers from around the world.
"Pioneer is offering this feature to enable growers to learn about market and weather challenges experienced by growers around the world, as well as to help them garner management and marketing tips," explains Jeff Talmadge, Pioneer e-business communications coordinator. "Producers are interested in learning about agriculture in other countries, and this site can facilitate that."
Following Growers Around the Globe consists of three sections.
--A profile of agriculture in the specific country featured, containing a quick overview and farming facts.
--A profile of the specific grower in each country and an overview of his operation, such as the crops grown.
--Journal entries from the participating growers detailing how the year is progressing, management challenges, environmental and market pressures.
Following Growers Around the Globe currently features producers from the United States, Canada, Argentina and Brazil. The journal of a producer from Poland will be added soon. The site is updated regularly with new information as it arrives from the growers. This feature is accessible to both registered Pioneer customers and non-customers.
