Date:11/6/2008

New Facility in Oregon Will Help Ramp Up New Corn Hybrids Faster.

Des Moines, Iowa (Vocus) November 6, 2008 -– DuPont today announced plans to construct a parent seed corn production facility in Hermiston, Ore. The expansion is one of many steps DuPont business Pioneer Hi-Bred is taking to ensure it meets rising demand for Pioneer® brand products and help farmers meet the strong global demand for grain.

The location will produce parent seed corn and pre-commercial hybrid seed corn. DuPont, which recently acquired 40 acres of land in Hermiston, expects initial operation to begin fall 2009 after construction of the facility is completed.
