Current Processor Preferred^® Corn Products

Processor Preferred corn can deliver compositional value to processors and unlock value for growers in new markets:

Processor Preferred High Extractable Starch (HES) hybrids can deliver higher levels of extractable starch, which allows corn wet millers to produce higher starch yields that they can turn into products that include high fructose corn syrup, corn oil, specialty starch products, commodity starches and ethanol.

Processor Preferred High Fermentable Corn (HFC) hybrids can deliver higher levels of fermentable starch, which allows dry mill ethanol plants to obtain higher ethanol yields for greater profit potential.
