Why the POV dispute?[edit]

That is the company's stated philosophy.--ukexpat 19:22, 18 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I am commenting it our until someone explains. --ukexpat 21:24, 20 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I think "our" was meant to be "out" above. —BarrelProof (talk) 19:22, 5 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Other issues[edit]

The first sentence is completely wrong. Pioneer is not the largest seed company, Monsanto is. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.255.174.142 (talk) 03:05, 27 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

You have total revenues ONLY for 1999???!!! It is now 2010, at least you should have the total revenues for 2008. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.63.200.23 (talk) 20:08, 6 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Requested move 5 June 2019[edit]

The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

The result of the move request was: no consensus. Editors disagree on the redirect target. It may be worth waiting to see whether the company's name changes in the near future. (non-admin closure) — Newslinger talk 05:52, 25 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Pioneer Hybrid International → Pioneer Hi-Bred International – The correct name of the company uses "Hi-Bred", not "Hybrid". The name "Hi-Bred" is an intentional pun/variation of "Hybrid".

Move to DuPont Pioneer. See the articles mentioned at the bottom of the Bloomberg profile linked above – they refer to the company as "DuPont Pioneer". The proposed name seems too unwieldy to be the WP:COMMONNAME. The company also self-identifies as "DuPont Pioneer" on its website's "Contact us" page here and in press releases here and here. Another possibility could be Pioneer (seed company). —BarrelProof (talk) 19:20, 5 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment: This business seems to be part of what became an independent company called Corteva just a few days ago (June 3, 2019). It seems potentially unclear what name it will be known by in the future. —BarrelProof (talk) 22:57, 10 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Casady family[edit]

Bianca and Sierra Casady of the band CocoRosie have said that their father Timothy Casady "came from an Iowa farm family, and he himself started out as a farmer" who "was trying to farm organic in a distinctly nonorganic culture." The New York Times article mentions their skepticism of their father's claim that "the F.B.I. ran him out of town because agro-business felt too threatened by his finding all these herb-based pesticides." Timothy Casady's father Simon Wheeler Casady III was a major shareholder for Pioneer and his great-grandfather Simon Casady Jr. was a co-founder of Pioneer along with Henry A. Wallace and others. I was curious as to whether or not Timothy Casady ever worked for Pioneer and why/how he ended up in organic farming despite being from a family that gained their wealth from GMOs. I've looked for sources, but can't find any. Bohemian Baltimore (talk) 09:14, 31 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
