Dr. Dennis Garzonio is the across-the-board expert behind the FS Seed Corn line.
Holding a PhD in Plant Pathology from Iowa State University and over 24 years as
an agriculture research scientist, Dr. Garzonio has directed corn plant breeding
programs from the lab and greenhouse, all the way to the field.
As a commercial corn breeder, he led development of 17 commercial hybrids, 13 of
which are sold in North America. Further, he has been a primary contributor to the
introduction of many insect and herbicide resistant traits now offered in the FS
Seed Corn line, and he continues to pursue those cutting-edge technologies, like
SmartStax™, that will bring even more value to the FS Corn lineup.
Drawing on his exhaustive knowledge of corn parental lines and key hybrids, Dr.
Garzonio sources the best available genetics for the FS Seed Corn line to match
the unique needs of Midwest corn growers.

Tom Hunsley, the FS HiSOY®product manager has led the development and production
of the 40-year-old brand for more than half of its existence. His effective use
of resources, in-depth understanding of genetics and ability to capitalize on market
trends has given Midwest farmers the edge in maximizing profits and reducing risks

yield-dragging effects of Soybean Cyst Nematode. Today, under Tom’s leadership the
FS HiSOY line has grown to include Roundup Ready 2 Yield™ technology, bringing growers
even more profit opportunities.
Through constant research and analytical review, Tom brings consistent performance
and reliability to each and every HiSOY brand soybean seed.
