Biographical note

Raymond F. Baker was born on February 21, 1906. He graduated from Iowa State College (University) with a B.S. (1935) in agronomy, but had started his career in 1926 after having met Pioneer Hi-Bred founder Henry A. Wallace at a corn day program at Iowa State. Fascinated by Wallace's work with corn hybrids, Baker temporarily left his studies at Iowa State and became Pioneer's second employee in 1928. He completed his Iowa State degree in 1935.

As Pioneer Hi-Bred's lead plant breeder for 43 years, Baker developed many of the company's first hybrid seed corns, including the first single-cross hybrid corn to be produced in volume. He is credited with establishing the scientific groundwork in the 1930s that helped Pioneer Hi-Bred become the world's largest seed corn company.

Baker served on the Pioneer board of directors from 1935 through 1985. He retired in 1971 as a corporate vice president and head of the corn research division, but continued to work in the company's plant breeding program.

In 1965, Baker was named a Fellow of both the American Society of Agronomy and the American Association for the Advancement of Science. The American Society of Agronomy honored him as Outstanding Contributor to Science.

Baker was named National Chairman of the Iowa State University Achievement Fund in 1974, and was a lifetime member of the Iowa State University Memorial Union and a member of the Iowa State University Foundation Board of Governors. In 1991, Iowa State awarded Baker an honorary Doctor of Humane Letters -- the first honorary degree the university had awarded in more than 26 years.

Baker died in January 1999.
