JOHNSTON, Iowa — Pioneer announces the availability of Pioneer® brand Plenish® high oleic Enlist E3® soybeans for the 2025 season, giving U.S. farmers the opportunity to capitalize on per-acre premiums while controlling weeds with the No. 1 herbicide-tolerant trait in soybeans.
New Plenish high oleic Enlist E3® soybeans will be introduced in Pioneer brand Z-Series varieties, providing industry-leading genetics and a generational leap forward in yield potential. Roger Theisen, marketing manager for Pioneer specialty crops, says this advancement brings even more options for farmers to increase their per-acre profit potential with high oleic soybeans.
“We continue to see growing interest in Plenish high oleic soybeans as farmers learn about the opportunity to increase profits through processor-paid premiums,” Theisen said. “With the availability of Plenish high oleic Enlist E3 soybeans, farmers will have access to even better tools to control weeds using the Enlist weed control system – the new standard for weed control in soybeans.”
Plenish high oleic soybean varieties are grown and marketed under identity-preserved contract programs, and farmers receive premiums from participating processors or elevators. Theisen believes the additional choice of Plenish® high oleic Enlist E3® soybeans will increase interest in the program.
“We know there are farmers who have wanted to plant Plenish high oleic soybeans in the past but needed the tools of the Enlist weed control program to effectively manage weeds on their farm,” Theisen said. “Now they don’t have to choose between planting Plenish high oleic soybeans or Enlist E3 soybeans – they can have the benefits of both, combined with the elite germplasm of the Pioneer brand Z-Series.”
Plenish high oleic soybean oil helps meet consumer demand for alternative cooking oils by providing a product with zero grams of trans fat, less saturated fat and the highest amount of heart-healthy monounsaturated fat available in soy.
In addition to consumer cooking oil, Plenish® high oleic soybeans are increasingly being used in on-farm dairy feeding. Standard soybeans, commonly grown for commodity markets, contain high levels of linoleic acid, which can reduce milk fat when used in dairy rations. In contrast, Plenish® high oleic soybeans offer a unique fatty acid profile with approximately 75% oleic acid and significantly lower linoleic acid, promoting higher milk fat production in dairy cows while lowering feed costs for dairy producers.
Three new Plenish® high oleic Enlist E3® varieties will be available for the 2025 season with an agronomic fit in the Delmarva Peninsula, central Indiana and southern South Dakota. Pioneer plans to advance additional varieties of Plenish high oleic Enlist E3® soybeans for Michigan, New York and Wisconsin in 2026, with broad availability the following season.
