CORNHUSKER HYBRIDS ANNOUNCES RETAIL DIVISION
Feb. 2, 2011
Source: Cornhusker Hybrids news release
In 2006 Cornhusker Hybrids, LLC, was begun to provide a commercial outlet for the corn inbreds and hybrids developed by the Benson family sister companies Great Plains Genetics, LLC and Benson Seed Research, LLC. In 2010 Cornhusker decided to promote one company and one brand: Cornhusker Hybrids, LLC.
Cornhusker Hybrids, LLC will have two divisions, a retail corn division marketing "Big Cob" hybrids, and a research division providing seedsmen the contract research services of corn breeding, corn testing that's focused on drought and wind tolerance, corn seed production, and corn transgenic testing of all types to include water use efficiency trials.
This dynamic and exciting new and improved company Cornhusker Hybrids, LLC, is located near Burwell in north central Nebraska. The short term goal of the seed division is to establish Cornhusker's corn brand "Big Cob" in north central and western Nebraska. The five-year seed division plan calls for this brand to capture 10% of the corn seed sales in this region.
The mission of the research division has two components: First, Cornhusker will provide its exceptional value in corn research services focused on corn breeding and corn transgenic and conventional drought and wind tolerance trials to the seed industry. Second, the company will provide the research and seed production support that "Big Cob" hybrids need to be able to provide Nebraska corn growers the highest yielding and greatest defensive hybrid lineup in the state by 2014.
