A Tradition of Quality!
 
Today Terral is the Mid-South leader integrating biotechnology into hybrid corn, hybrid grain sorghum, soybeans, wheat and rice. Terral Roundup Ready is the base corn trait that we will stack with corn stalk borer resistance (YieldGard) and corn rootworm resistance (MaxGard). At Terral, we are developing seed today that will have the yield and biotechnology traits you will need tomorrow to supply the world's growing demand.
   
2000 Released the first top yielding Mid-South corn with Roundup Ready resistance -- TV2140RR. Released two new high yielding Roundup Ready soybeans -- TV4890RR and TV5486RR. In 2000, sales of soybeans with improved biotechnology traits accounted for over 80% of soybean seed sales.
   
1997 Terral introduces TV9421 Grain Sorghum to its line of high yielding milos. Terral Grain Sorghum, for the first time, has the largest share of the grain sorghum acreage planted in the Mid-South. Terral has continued to have a larger share of its milo seed planted every year since 1997.
