HOOPER, Neb. - Hoegemeyer Hybrids will be acquired by Pioneer Hi-Bred sometime later this year, company officials said. Hoegemeyer Hybrids will operate much the way it always has, as a stand-alone entity, and management of the company will continue under the existing leadership of Stephan Becerra, and Tom and Chris Hoegemeyer, all members of the Hoegemeyer family.
