Stine® Seed Company was one of the first companies in the U.S. to offer a large supply of Enlist E3® soybeans when the trait first launched in 2019. As a company that prides itself on supporting innovation to improve the future of farming, we knew the need for the trait was significant. This is why we invested heavily in producing high-yielding Stine brand Enlist E3 soybean seed before many others in the industry. Since then, the percentage of U.S. acres planted with Enlist E3 each year has grown immensely. Enlist E3 soybeans now represent more than 50% of U.S. acres planted, and as of 2024, Stine is the second-largest Enlist E3 brand in the country.
“Our early investment in developing Stine Enlist E3 soybeans has allowed us to breed more new generations of seed than many of our competitors,” says Tyler DuBay, soybean technical agronomist for Stine. “This approach gives us the advantage of offering more unique Enlist E3 lines in a wider array of maturities to the market. Early adaptation allowed us to collect more data, such as differences between parents, brand placement, and combining technology with traits customers want within their soybeans.”
