Highlights from the 2017 Farm Progress Show

September 2017 

Another successful Farm Progress Show is in the books thanks to the thousands of visitors who stopped by our booth! The Farm Progress Show was in Decatur, Illinois, this year, and we had visitors from all over the Corn Belt and beyond, including some from outside the United States, stop by our booth to talk with Stine sales representatives. Visitors inquired about Stine’s high-yielding genetics, new soybean technologies and our 2018 corn and soybean lineup. They also had the chance to Go Big with Stine — our latest promotion where visitors take home one of our newly designed hats, visit the website listed on the tag of the hat and register to win a Polaris Ranger.

We enjoyed sharing our latest genetics and technology with our visitors. A John Deere DB60 72-row HP Twin 20 planter was displayed beside the Stine booth, leaving many visitors intrigued and anxious to learn more about Stine® HP Corn®  and our innovative HP Twin 20 Planting System. Stine sales representatives were also on hand to discuss Stine’s latest corn hybrids and soybean varieties, including the new Stine® GT 27 and LibertyLink® soybeans.

Stine RSAs and leadership on site had the chance to visit with various media outlets who were at the show, providing interviews with WHO Radio, Brownfield Ag News, Farm Industry News and more. Myron Stine, president of Stine, was at the booth, speaking with reporters and farmers about his optimism for the new soybean technology in the pipeline and the outlook of agriculture, including the value Stine can bring to the industry.  You can listen to one of Myron’s interviews with Brownfield Ag News here.

It was an exciting and educational week for Stine at the Farm Progress Show. If you missed us this year at Decatur, be sure to visit us next year at the Farm Progress Show in Boone, Iowa.
