Billi Hunt, executive director of America’s Cultivation Corridor, issued the following statement regarding the announcement of Vylor, Inc. headquarters location.
America’s Cultivation Corridor is excited to welcome the headquarters of Vylor, Inc., to Johnston, Iowa.
The advanced seed and genetics business that is expected to separate from the current Corteva business in fourth quarter 2026 will lead the industry with its Pioneer, Brevant and Hoegemeyer seed brands. The company’s globally recognized brands have earned a #1 and #2 market share position for key crops in almost every region they serve and hold the largest seed production network in the world, world-record yields and industry-leading route-to-market.
“There is no better place for the future of Vylor than here in Iowa,” said Billi Hunt, executive director of America’s Cultivation Corridor. “In Iowa, unparalleled production meets world-class research, entrepreneurial drive and a deep-rooted spirit of collaboration.”
With its headquarters in Johnston, Iowa, Vylor will draw on the strengths of people and infrastructure of the existing global seed business center and benefit from Iowa’s dynamic agricultural ecosystem.
Congratulations to Corteva Agriscience, City of Johnston, Iowa Economic Development Authority and the many other business, community and employee advocates who were instrumental in process.
