Pioneer's Tough Corn Battles Bugs and Weeds Without Rules
Published Date: 2/18/2026
Notice
Summary
Pioneer Hi-Bred International wants the USDA to say their new genetically engineered corn, which fights certain bugs and tolerates a popular weed killer, is safe and doesn’t need special rules. The USDA is sharing the petition and a safety check for everyone to review and comment on before April 20, 2026. This could speed up growing and selling this corn, helping farmers and possibly saving money on pest control.
