We firmly believe building win/win
relationships through licensing is critical in creating long term success
for our customers.
Licensing
SGI is focused on

performing genetics.
SGI works with
diversified Originators, including our own research group, ranging from
multi-national companies to successful regional breeding companies. We

Research and Breeding
Our internal dent corn
breeding program is designed to deliver high quality inbreds and hybrids
to the licensing group. Currently there are six stations conducting
research at prime locations across the Cornbelt. The Northern Group is
based in Wright County Iowa, Henry County Illinois and Dane County
Wisconsin. The Southern locations are in Seward County Nebraska,
Champaign County Illinois and Darke County Ohio. These stations are
developing high yielding competitive hybrids from 95 days to 115 days in
maturity.
In addition to these
stations winter nurseries are conducted in Florida, Hawaii, Puerto Rico,
Argentina, and Mexico.
Our trait
introgression program based in
Central Illinois combines our high yielding base genetics with in-plant
herbicide and insecticide protection. The conversion program utilizes
molecular markers and year round nurseries in tropical environments to
accelerate trait incorporation. SGI has agreements with all major trait
providers and is delivering the highest level of stacked traits.
