3 2017 SEED GUIDE way OUR MISSION To develop and deliver corn and soybean seed that gives growers the greatest potential for high yields and profits year after year, and to deliver unrivaled support before, during and after every growing season

4 Farming is so much more than our livelihood or our way of life. It s our legacy the legacy of our parents and grandparents as well as the future legacy of our children and grandchildren. Our roots in this industry run deeper than the roots of any seed or plant you could grow. We wear the title of farmer with pride and contentment, just as our fathers did and their fathers before them. Our dedication is both innate and learned through years of cultivating the soil and learning from our ancestors. We see a bright future in farming and we want to pass our love of agriculture on to our sons and daughters. But it s not just nostalgia and daydreams, it's hard work, perseverance and dedication. And those are qualities we strive to pass on to the next generation of agriculturalists as well. When our boots hit the ground each morning, we face the same challenges you do. Our hands are calloused and scarred, as we work hard to find a better way to achieve higher yields and tackle the pests that target our crops. We will continue to find new solutions we are up to the challenge. We know you hit the fields with the same grit and determination. That s why we re committed to being your solutions partner. We work hard and test our seeds so you can be confident knowing that the seeds you plant have the best traits for your farm. We ll continue to develop new varieties to ensure Thunder Seed meets the needs of future generations. This is seed you can count on for years to come. It s also about having a partner you can count on. When you need seed, we re there to deliver within 24 hours if needed. We have multiple production and cleaning facilities as well as a vast dealer network, so no matter where you are, we re right there for you. Our success is in large part because of you, the hard-working, dependable farmers who put in long hours to make sure the work gets done right. You ve placed your trust in us and we will never take that trust for granted. Thank you for making Thunder Seed First in the Field.

5 2017 SEED GUIDE HIGH-YIELDING, TECHNOLOGY-DRIVEN SEED seed It All Starts Wi t h That one decision impacts everything that follows during a growing season. So it s critical to start with a seed that has been developed to withstand the challenges unique to Western Canada. We develop our seed for the fields it ll be planted in: yours. And to do it, we deliver quality traits and characteristics from the best technologies available. Thunder Seed Achieve high plant populations with our conventional Thunder Seed varieties. We perform standard and cold vigor germination testing for high tolerance to colder soils. Our seeds also offer high resistance to diseases, white mold and shattering, as well as superb standability to prevent lodging. And like all of our seeds, they are bred specifically for your region and adjust to our changing conditions to deliver greater and more consistent yields. VT Double PRO RIB Complete Corn Blend Get superior protection from above-ground insects in a single-bag refuge solution.

Farmers who purchase corn products that are not designated as RIB Complete required to plant a refuge that is appropriate for that product. As part of the IRM plan for RIB Complete corn, experts recommend that growers incorporate crop rotations (out of corn), use of pyramided traits for below ground pests and, when appropriate, use of insecticides to minimize selection of resistant populations. Farmers should monitor their RIB Complete corn fields for targeted insect pests and contact their local Monsanto representative, retailer, or Monsanto s Technical Support line at if they observe any unusual performance problems.
