Stine in the news

February 2023 

The industry is abuzz about short corn, and Stine has been at the forefront of the conversation. We’re no stranger to short corn. In fact, we don’t shy away from saying we invented short-stature corn. Then, we perfected it. Now, the rest of the industry is catching on, and more and more seed companies are speaking out about their iterations of short corn.

Check out some of the articles we’ve been featured in recently.
