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]

Pioneer Hybrid InternationalPioneer 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".

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]
