Sunflowers, especially confection and dehullers, have been very profitable on our farm thanks, in a big part, to the technology and the service we received from the company. They are always more than willing when we have a problem from insect to disease or from delivery to finding seeds on a very short notice. We have also been planting their corn seed the past three years and have been very happy with yields and dry down. We thank them for the excellent service in the past and look forward to working with them now as Nuseed. Ken & Georgia Vander Vorst, Pollock SD 6

The Agrisure GT/CB/LL trait stack combines the convenience and proven performance of glyphosate and glufosinate herbicide tolerance with corn borer resistance. Technology maximizes yield when it rains and increases yield up to 15% when it doesn t. Since hybrids with Agrisure Artesian technology contain scientifically selected genes for water optimization, the performance of these hybrids raises the bar for drought tolerance ratings vs. standard hybrids. Agrisure Artesian technology is available with many of the other traits and trait stacks described in this index. The Agrisure GT trait provides tolerance to in-crop applications of glyphosate-based herbicides with the freedom for growers to choose their preferred glyphosate brand. Seed products with the LibertyLink (LL) trait are resistant to the herbicide glufosinate ammonium, an alternative to glyphosate in corn, and combine high-yielding genetics with the powerful, non-selective, postemergent weed control of Liberty herbicide for optimum yield and excellent weed control.

IMPORTANT IRM INFORMATION: Genuity RIB Complete corn blend products do not require the planting of a structured refuge except in the Cotton-Growing Area where corn earworm is a significant pest. See the IRM/Grower Guide for additional information. Always read and follow IRM requirements. Roundup Technology includes Monsanto s glyphosate-based herbicide technologies. ALWAYS READ AND FOLLOW PESTICIDE LABEL DIRECTIONS. Roundup Ready crops contain genes that confer tolerance to glyphosate, the active ingredient in Roundup brand agricultural herbicides. Roundup brand agricultural herbicides will kill crops that are not tolerant to glyphosate.
