    Seeds of Growth looks at the science & business of hybrid seeds

    Section C of this week's ANR contains our annual Seeds of Growth section which is all about the science and business of growing hybrid seeds in Nebraska. Starting off our coverage on Page C1 is an article about local Pioneer Seed representative Greg Bonifas who last year celebrated his own silver anniversary with the seed corn pioneering company. Next up is a story from Flatwater Free Press about a giant popcorn seed company hidden in plain sight just up the road in Loup City. And finally, follow the journey of a kernel of hybrid corn seed as it makes its way from the field where it was raised the bag ready to be planted in the spring.
