The Company's principal products are seed corn and soybean seed, which have accounted for approximately 89 percent of total worldwide net sales and substantially 100 percent of worldwide operating income over the last five years. These products are expected to maintain a dominant role in the Company's results of operations for the foreseeable future. Hybrid seed products typically generate the largest margins as a percentage of sales for the Company. Seed corn provides the largest impact of all products, in terms of dollars, to the financial bottom line. Therefore, acreage shifts from corn to other crops can have a significant effect on the Company's profitability. Compared to hybrid seed, sales and profits from non-hybrid seed are more heavily dependent on commodity prices and the competition from farmer-saved seed. As a result, these margins are narrower and operations are more subject to year-to-year fluctuations.

The business of Pioneer Hi-Bred International, Inc. is the broad application of the science of genetics. Pioneer was founded in 1926 to apply then newly discovered genetic techniques to hybridize corn. Today the Company develops, produces, and markets hybrids of corn, sorghum, and sunflowers; varieties of soybeans, alfalfa, wheat, and canola; and microorganisms useful in crop and livestock production. Hybrids, such as corn and sorghum, are crosses of two or more unrelated inbred lines that can be reproduced only by crossing the original parent lines. As a result, it is not beneficial for customers to plant saved seed, as the seed produced will not have the same genetic attributes as the seed planted. Varietal crops, such as soybeans and wheat, will reproduce themselves with little or no genetic variation. Customers frequently plant saved grain from these products, however, they are becoming increasingly aware of the advantages of purchasing "new" seed every year.
