5 Before opening a bag of seed, be sure to read and understand the stewardship requirements, including applicable refuge requirements for insect resistance management, for the biotechnology traits expressed in the seed as set forth in the technology agreement that you sign. By opening and using a bag of seed, you are reaffirming your obligation to comply with the most recent stewardship requirements. Respect the Rotation is an initiative to elevate the importance and grower adoption of herbicide diversity to prevent or manage weed resistance. Glyphosate weed resistance is a dominating threat throughout the United States that affects land values, rental agreements, conservation tillage and can greatly reduce yields. The use of Integrated Weed Management practices, such as use of residuals, pre-emergence herbicides and rotation of crops, traits and herbicides, is critical as no one method is likely to be completely successful.

BENEFITS OF NEW SEED Convenience High quality and high yield potential product vs. bin-run Reliable seed supply in many maturities Economics of New Seed vs. Bin-Run Average loss of ~10 15% cleanout at harvest for bin-run seed Bin-run planting rates are generally 15% higher than new certified seed Limited Warranty Benefits Dealer agronomic support before and after the sale Risk management benefits of Roundup Rewards (over $600 million in benefits paid) New Innovations Monsanto s 100% commitment to agriculture Our very preliminary estimate is that farmers get a $6 benefit for each $1 spent on private sector research SOYBEAN PIRACY STATEMENT Seeds containing the Roundup Ready trait and the Genuity Roundup Ready 2 Yield trait are protected under numerous U.S. patents. Seed containing patented traits, such as seed containing the Roundup Ready and Roundup Ready 2 Yield traits, can only be used to plant a single commercial crop. It is unlawful to save and replant Roundup Ready soybeans and Genuity Roundup Ready 2 Yield soybeans. Additional information and limitations on these products are provided in the Monsanto Technology Stewardship Agreement and the Monsanto Technology Use Guide. The licensed U.S. patents formonsanto technologies can be found at the following webpage: patents. LIBERTYLINK PATENT STATEMENT Soybean seeds containing LibertyLink are protected under multiple U.S. patents and may be planted only to produce one (1) commercial crop, and only after signing a Bayer Grower Technology Agreement. It is illegal to save or catch soybean seeds containing the LibertyLink trait for use as planting seed or for transfer to others for use as planting seed. NOTES

Use when silks are out on corn and when soybean plants are loaded with flowers. HighPod % S 3 gal. Gives corn Nitrogen when it s most needed. Provides soybeans with N. This puts the nodules on the roots on vacation and allows the plant to use its energy to fill pods instead of making Nitrogen. After Harvest NutriSmart 50 to 100 lbs. per acre Replace 25% to 30% of granular fertilizer with the same number of pounds of NutriSmart. This product contains 6 microbes that will make nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium and micro nutrients available to the plant while it cleanses the soil from a buildup of crop protection products. Every pound of Nutrismart will make 1 pound on nitrogen for the crop. Apply from harvest through early spring if No-till, or incorporate prior to planting.
