Pioneer soybean production plant opens in MO

Pioneer Hi-Bred opened what it says is the largest soybean production plant in the world on Friday – in Southeast Missouri. The $60 Million parent and commercial soybean seed production plant is in New Madrid County and company officials say it will help Pioneer meet the increased demand for their soybean products while bringing jobs to the area. They say it’s part of the DuPont company’s overall expansion of both production and research locations in North America. Pioneer says this is its first seed production facility in Missouri. The plant will be up and running in October as soybean harvest gets underway in the area. It is designed to serve mostly growers in the southern United States.
