National Plant Genome Initiative, shepherded by the National Corn Growers Association, is celebrating 20 years of genetic research. The historic research effort to map the corn genome has resulted in significant economic and environmental dividends for farmers and society at large.- Mycogen’s Turn the Bag Blue & Gold program is working with select retailers and local FFA chapters to offer students a learning, as well as fundraising, opportunity. Chapter members will receive professional selling training to sell special blue and gold bags of select Mycogen brand corn hybrids to local farmers.
