Pioneer Hi-Bred International, Inc., commonly known as Pioneer, is a seed company based in Johnston, Iowa, USA. The company was founded in 1926 by Henry A. Wallace, an agricultural pioneer and future U.S. Secretary of Agriculture. Here is a brief history of Pioneer seed company:

1920s: In 1926, Henry A. Wallace founded the Hi-Bred Corn Company in Des Moines, Iowa, to develop hybrid corn seeds that were more productive and resistant to disease. The company's first hybrid corn variety, Pioneer, was released in 1927 and quickly became popular with farmers.

1930s: In the 1930s, Hi-Bred Corn Company continued to develop new corn hybrids, as well as hybrids for other crops such as soybeans and sorghum. The company also expanded its sales and distribution network, establishing offices and warehouses across the United States.

1940s: During World War II, Hi-Bred Corn Company shifted its focus to military production, producing seed for the U.S. armed forces. After the war, the company resumed its civilian production and continued to expand its product line.

1950s: In the 1950s, Hi-Bred Corn Company introduced several new corn hybrids, including the Pioneer 303 and Pioneer 316. These hybrids were known for their high yields and resistance to disease.

1960s: In the 1960s, Hi-Bred Corn Company merged with the Pioneer Seed Company to form Pioneer Hi-Bred International. The company continued to develop new seed varieties and expanded its operations into other countries, including Canada, Mexico, and Brazil.

1970s: In the 1970s, Pioneer Hi-Bred International introduced several new seed varieties, including the Pioneer 335 and Pioneer 348. The company also expanded its research and development capabilities, investing in new technologies and facilities.

1980s: In the 1980s, Pioneer Hi-Bred International became a subsidiary of the DuPont Company. The company continued to develop new seed varieties and expanded its operations into Europe, Africa, and Asia.

1990s: In the 1990s, Pioneer Hi-Bred International introduced several new seed varieties, including the Pioneer 394 and Pioneer 3855. The company also established several joint ventures with other seed companies, including Monsanto and Dow AgroSciences.

2000s: In the 2000s, Pioneer Hi-Bred International became a subsidiary of the agricultural equipment manufacturer, John Deere. The company continued to develop new seed varieties and expanded its operations into new markets, including China and India.

Today, Pioneer remains one of the world's largest seed companies, with a focus on developing innovative seed varieties and technologies to help farmers increase productivity and sustainability. The company's legacy is one of innovation and commitment to improving the agriculture industry through scientific research and development.
