Garst: "Modern Science... Traditional Values"  (not quite fellas!) 

http://www.garstseed.com/brochure/innovation.htm

With the advent of new technologies, agricultural research has doubled and redoubled its pace. The
 Garst research facility at Slater, Iowa is only one part of the expansive worldwide Advanta network that
  includes facilities in 13 states and 12 different countries. The year-round growing environment at our
   precision breeding farm in Hawaii allows scientist to produce several generations in the same year, and
    continuous corn nurseries produce up to four crops per year.

The result of all this research is a potentially endless line of product innovations to help growers become
 more efficient and productive. Garst pioneered herbicide resistance in corn with the in-house
  development of our IT® gene. Through research and strategic partnerships, Garst has introduced
   innovative hybrids such as: IMI-CORN®, High pH tolerance, virus resistance, LibertyLink®, European
    corn Borer resistance, High Oil Corn and Roundup Ready® Corn, as well as Roundup Ready soybeans and
	 STS® soybeans. We introduced the first Gray Leaf Spot resistant corn hybrids with Garst patented
	  technology.

Garst scientists have discovered and patented WHISKERS[tm], a proprietary process used to insert genes
 into plant cells. Using this technology, Garst scientists and plant breeders have developed G-STAC®
  hybrids, which stack several beneficial traits together in one hybrid seed product - without agronomic
   penalties. Garst leads the industry with double, triple and even quadruple G-STAC hybrids.
