Today, after false starts and heavy going, Rockefeller has four projects (besides the mechanization company) that can argue for themselves. On an 867-acre hilltop farm near Jacarezinho, a mixedcapital company has completed its 32nd cross of Brazilian seed corn, has harvested 32 tons of high-yielding hybrid, and sold the lot to Parana and São Paulo farmers.
