Hoegemeyer Hybrids excited about drought-tolerant corn

At the recent Hoegemeyer Hybrids field day near Hooper, Nebraska, we visited with company president Stephan Becerra and chief technology officer Dr. Tom Hoegemeyer.  Becerra talks about new technologies in the Hoegemeyer lineup and the company’s pending acquisition by Pioneer Hi-Bred.  Dr. Hoegemeyer discusses the recent prolonged spell of hot weather and its possible impact on yield, and what he regards as “the most exciting new technology”, drought-tolerant corn.
