Stine^® products to watch in 2027

“One of our biggest advantages in the industry is the size and strength of our breeding programs and the innovator behind it all,” says Brian Hartman, national corn product manager for Stine. “Harry Stine is one of the most influential plant breeders in agriculture, and his experience as a farmer has driven some of the industry’s most groundbreaking product advancements. He’s a farmer first, and he would never put a product on anyone else’s farm that he wouldn’t trust on his own.”

That’s why our product lineup gets stronger every year. Our 2027 corn and soybean portfolio features high-yielding options to fit a variety of field environments to meet the needs of farmers across diverse growing geographies. Several products gaining attention in our Elite Yield Trials are a testament to the strength of next year’s offerings.

“We have several products in our lineup that are winning plots and outyielding the competition while displaying strong defense packages,” says Tyler DuBay, Stine soybean technical agronomist. “There’s something for every grower in our lineup. Whether you’re looking for a traited or a strong conventional option — we have a performer in your region.”
