Why choose Stine® corn and soybeans for 2024?

September 2023 

Why choose Stine corn and soybeans for 2024? The simple answer is genetics, options and service.

“STINE HAS YIELD isn’t just our brand promise; it’s how we operate, and it’s at the core of every decision we make as a company,” says Myron Stine, company president. “Stine has the best genetics, the most robust product offerings and the most knowledgeable reps in the industry. When combined, we deliver the resources grower customers need to achieve top-end yield.” 

Genetics

Stine has one of the industry’s largest corn and soybean breeding programs, which means we’re testing more new genetics than our competitors. We operate with the knowledge that breeding is a numbers game — the more material you look at, the better your chances of finding the best. We won’t release any genetic material if it doesn’t have proven yield performance in our program. Our approach to breeding is why most of the soybean genetics planted in the United States today started with Stine and why we can deliver new corn genetics to growers’ fields faster than other seed companies.

Options 

Because of our access to our own genetic material and the industry’s leading trait platforms, we can deliver more new options than our competitors year after year. This is a big differentiator for us. For soybeans, this is critical as there’s more adaption of the Enlist E3® trait than ever before. Stine is well placed for growers using this platform as we have the BEST the industry offers, bar none. Our 2024 soybean lineup includes:  

  • 109 lines of Stine brand Enlist E3 soybeans, ranging from 0008 to 77 maturity.
  • Five lines of Stine brand LibertyLink® GT27® soybeans, ranging from 04 to 34 maturity.
  • 23 options of Stine brand XtendFlex® soybeans, ranging from 08 to 50 maturity.
  • 28 options of Stine Elite conventional soybeans, ranging from 02 to 53 maturity. 

Whether you’re in the market for short corn or a traited product with outstanding above- and below-ground insect protection, Stine has the corn lineup you need. Options include: 

  • 13 Agrisure®-traited lines featuring Stine genetics, including some from our elite MX Series Corn lineup, with options ranging from 83–85-day to 117–119-day relative maturity.
  • 14 Stine GT lines, ranging from 103–105-day to 114–116-day relative maturity.

  • 11 MX Series Corn lines, ranging from 95–97-day to 113–115-day relative maturity.
