I didn’t even know there was a white corn named Zimmerman until Syngenta announced that it had granted exclusive right for sales and distribution of the hybrids to Hoegemeyer Hybrids in the U. S. A corn hybrid named after me. Well not me but it has my name so it’s got to be good.

Included in the agreement are Zimmerman white corn hybrids: 1713W, 1714W and 1863W. A separate research and development agreement for the Syngenta white corn breeding program allows Dr. Tom Hoegemeyer to expand and diversify his proprietary breeding efforts in white corn.

As Syngenta focuses its product development resources on becoming the leading customer choice for high-yielding germplasm and traits and strengthens its commitment to renewable fuels, this arrangement enables continuing availability of Zimmerman white corn products to food manufactures through the Hoegemeyer brand.
