The Pioneer GrowingPoint is growing and will now include a MarketPoint
DuPont business Pioneer Hi-Bred today introduced MarketPoint resource, a new online market service that links corn growers with end users to provide producers with enhanced profit opportunities, greater product differentiation and more convenience. It offers end users, such as ethanol plants and livestock feeders, the opportunity to source better quality grain.
“Pioneer MarketPoint resource is a powerful tool that brings together producers of high-quality grain with those who need it to make their business run more effectively,” said Paul Schickler, Pioneer president and DuPont vice president and general manager. “There has never been a tool like this that brings these two groups together so easily.”
Available on the Pioneer GrowingPoint website, the MarketPoint resource allows growers to post their high-quality grain for sale to local buyers who make competitive bids based upon quality and quantity information posted to the site. In turn, end users will be able to source this higher value grain to help maximize efficiency, whether it is in their ethanol plants or feedlot operations.
A pilot program has been initiated for growers and ethanol plants in select areas of Nebraska. Pending the success of this program, Pioneer will expand the MarketPoint(SM) resource to other areas.
