During this past week’s Pioneer Agronomy Update, Corteva corn breeder Dennis Dolan highlighted the company’s corn nursery outside of Sabin, Minnesota.

Despite injury, research does continue. Dolan says this nursery focuses on traits that are important to growers in the area including resistance to Goss’s Wilt and stalk lodging. “Harvestable yield is the biggest thing you have to worry about; getting the most yield with the agronomics you have.” Find the full video with Dennis Dolan here.
