Trailer for the documentary Hybrid.
Beginning in the 1930s, Beeghly and his company, Beeghly's Best Hybrids, brought the gospel of hybrid corn right into the homes of Midwestern farmers where it encountered suspicion and fear. But hybrid corn seeds were far more than a business proposition for Beeghly. His own experiments had convinced him that hybrids, most especially of corn, which has peculiarly "promiscuous" characteristics, promised a millennial era of peace and prosperity.
