Envisioning the Future of Farming

Research and Development

We exist to serve farmers. Our research and development pipeline works to provide farmers with the tools, seeds, and software they need to cultivate our food and clothing fiber while preserving the environment. We firmly believe that innovation and technology are the way to help farmers achieve their goals.

Every field, every crop, every farmer is different; each with their own needs, challenges, and ultimately goals. We strive to address to each need, face each challenge, and reach each goal for every field, every crop, and every farmer.

The Integrated Field.

We have a shared focus with farmers –integrating the tools and decisions that drive success in their fields. Our researchers work to deliver solutions that contribute to a holistic view of the field to meet each farmers’ unique needs to achieve their best growing season each year.

From crop protection to digital tools, from plant breeding to biotechnology, the perfect solution for one field may not fit the next. It is how we combine these innovations that provides customizable solutions for our farmers. And we aren’t just leaving farmers to make these decisions on their own. We’re providing them with the data and digital tools needed to measure, analyze, and utilize the information gathered from their fields to choose the right solutions to help them achieve their individual goals.

Threats to Crops


Environmental threats—damaging insects, invasive disease, yield-robbing weeds—lurk in every field, and these threats continue to worsen due to climate change. By providing farmers with data from every inch of their field, they can better monitor these threats and determine the best approach for fighting and preventing them with proven crop protection techniques, specific trait breeding, and the use of biotech and agricultural biologicals.

Stress, Yield Enhancement, Digital Tools


But we do more than just fight against challenges. Our researchers work to optimize opportunities inherent to each grower’s field through data-driven recommendations to support the complex decision making, and yield-enhancing products to make the most of every acre.

Doing More with Less


Modern agriculture technologies have increased farmers’ productivity exponentially, but, importantly, they’ve also reduced agriculture’s impact on our environment. Advances in data analytics, herbicide-tolerant and insect-resistant systems, and ag biologicals all help us to reduce the amount of natural resources, like land and water, and purchased inputs—like pesticides and fertilizers—used per unit of production in farming.
