WORD FROM THE HERD

Variety: In agriculture, a variety is a group of plants within a species that share specific traits—like color, size, yield, or resistance to pests.

In Agriculture: For example, there are many different varieties of corn, each bred for a purpose: sweet corn for eating fresh, dent corn for livestock feed, or specialty hybrids for biofuels. Plant breeders create new varieties by selecting the best traits—so the food on your plate is the result of years of science and careful planning!
