Pioneer’s Plenish high oleic Enlist E3 soybeans are proving very popular with growers, with significant acreage expansion for the 2026 growing season — a trend that’s expected to continue into 2027, according to Pioneer Product Marketing Manager Regan Ragsdale.

Launched in 2025, Ragsdale said Pioneer’s Enlist E3 soybeans represented 4% of the company’s total high-oleic seed sales. “That’s up to 45% this year, and next year, we expect that to be 83%, so the demand for Plenish by E3 is growing exponentially,” Ragsdale said.

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.
