He says what he means and he means what he says. So when he tells you that out of all the hybrids he s tried in the 8 years since taking over his farm Dairyland corn delivers the highest yields, you can take it to the bank. 09 CORN LINEUP CORN LEGEND SXRA PWRA SXE PWE RR 0 000GT GT RATING SCALE Rated to 9, = Excellent; = Not rated.

20 TRAIT STEWARDSHIP REFUGE AND Bt MANAGEMENT Practicing sound Bt management and following grain marketing requirements are crucial to protecting your crop plan options, today and in the future. When planting hybrids with in-plant traits, it s important that you follow all applicable Insect Resistant Management (I) and grain marketing requirements. Consult Corn Product Use Guide for complete details. Separate Refuge REFUGE SIZE AND DISTANCE SmartStax Refuge Advanced PowerCore Refuge Advanced Refuge Size Requirement Corn Belt Cotton Belt Not for sale or planting in cotton region. Refuge Distance Requirement None None SmartStax Within or adjacent PowerCore Within, adjacent or up to a half-mile HERCULEX XTRA Insect Protection Within or adjacent HERCULEX Insect Protection Within, adjacent or up to half-mile % refuge equals acres of non-bt corn for every 9 acres of Bt corn planted 0% refuge equals 0 acres of non-bt corn for every 80 acres of Bt corn planted 0% refuge equals 0 acres of non-bt corn for every 0 acres of Bt corn planted Agrisure GT/CB/LL, Agrisure 000GT, Agrisure 00 and Agrisure require a 0% refuge in the Corn Belt and a 0% refuge in the Cotton Belt Agrisure and Agrisure Viptera 0 require a % refuge in the Corn Belt and a 0% refuge in the Cotton Belt. REFUGE LOCATION AND CONFIGURATION OPTIONS The structured refuge may be planted as an in-field refuge or an adjacent (e.g., across the road) refuge. Corn borer refuge may also be planted as a separate block that is within ½ mile of the Bt field. In-field refuge options include blocks, perimeter strips (i.e., strips around the field) or in-field strips. In-field blocks or strips must be at least four consecutive rows wide. Seed mixtures of Bt and non-bt corn (other than the mixture provided as Refuge Advanced ) are not permitted. When switching between Bt hybrids and the seed to be planted in the refuge, planter hoppers should be cleaned out to avoid inadvertent mixing of seed. Growers should calculate the acres required for refuge and plant the appropriate amount of refuge seed for the configuration options selected. For example, in choosing to plant in-field strips, a grower must calculate how much refuge seed is needed to meet the minimum refuge requirement and fill the refuge planter boxes with that amount. Strips should be planted until the minimum refuge seed is completely used. The remainder of the field can then be planted with Bt seed in all boxes. Common refuge options Field Edge Compact Block Headland Across Field Additional refuge options for Herculex I, PowerCore and SmartStax (select states only for SmartStax) Half-mile Splitting Planter Perimeter Adjacent Field Bt corn Refuge corn (does not contain Bt genes for control of corn borers or corn rootworms) Illustrations are not a representation of refuge size requirements. Please see Refuge Size and Distance section for minimum refuge requirements by product.

21 CROP AND GRAIN MARKETING STEWARDSHIP Dow AgroSciences is a member of Excellence Through Stewardship (ETS). Dow AgroSciences products are commercialized in accordance with ETS product launch stewardship guidance, and Dow AgroSciences Product Launch Stewardship Policy. Before selecting hybrids for your crop plan, Dow AgroSciences recommends you know and understand whether the hybrid you have chosen is a conventional hybrid, one approved for export or one not yet approved for export. It is important that you consult your trait provider s technical agreements prior to planting to understand crop requirements and approved corn markets. Any grain or material produced from Bt seed can only be exported to, or used in, processed in or sold in countries where all necessary regulatory approvals have been granted. It is a violation of national and international law to move material containing biotechnology traits across boundaries into nations where import is not permitted. Talk to your grain handler or purchaser in advance to facilitate appropriate crop and grain or material handling and marketing. ROTATE CROPS: Crop rotation to a non-host crop such as soybeans (or an alternative crop) helps lower the CRW pressure and break the pest cycle. MULTIPLE MODES OF ACTION: Planting corn hybrids with pyramided CRW traits (such as SmartStax trait technology) versus a single CRW-traited hybrid, helps improve CRW control. Consider using a non-crw Bt corn (such as PowerCore trait technology) or non-bt corn in some years. SCOUT FIELDS: Scout for CRW larvae and adult beetles to determine economic pressure and evaluate appropriate control measures. INSECTICIDE USE: The application of an insecticide to the soil surface, in furrows and/or incorporated into the soil (referred to as insecticide, soil insecticide or SAI ) is not recommended for control of CRW in Bt-traited corn products except under limited circumstances and in consultation with Extension, crop consultants or other local experts. SAIs should not be necessary for CRW control with pyramided CRW trait Bt corn products such as SmartStax. See or for additional information on CRW refuge requirements and best management practices. For further information about your crop or grain marketing options, contact Dow AgroSciences at 877--TRAITS ( ). Information regarding the regulatory and market status of agricultural biotechnology products can be found at: biotradestatus.com. TECHNOLOGY USE AGREEMENT You must have a valid, executed Technology Use Agreement on file with Dow AgroSciences to legally obtain, plant, and grow hybrids that contain Bt technology from Dow AgroSciences. Technology Use Agreements can be found at traitstewardship.com or can be signed electronically at agcelerate.com. KNOW BEFORE YOU GROW Before selecting hybrids for your crop plan, Dow AgroSciences and the National Corn Growers Association (NCGA) recommend you know and understand whether the hybrid you ve chosen is a conventional hybrid, approved for export to the purchasing country or one not yet approved for export. It is important that you read the technology use agreement from the technology provider prior to planting, so you understand crop requirements and to ensure that all exported grain goes only to approved corn markets. DAIRYLANDSEED.COM CORN ROOTWO BEST MANAGEMENT PRACTICES Follow recommended Integrated Pest Management (IPM) practices, including a multi-year crop rotation strategy, cultural control, scouting and appropriate use of pest control. For fields with a history of, or at risk for, large populations of CRW, such as those planted to continuous corn, the following best management practices are recommended. REFUGE CALCULATOR National Corn Growers Association (NCGA) in collaboration with the industry has developed a Web-based calculator to help growers calculate the minimum refuge requirements for each of the Bt products on their farm. This calculator can be accessed at refuge.irmcalculator.com.

28 SUPERIOR FIBER DIGESTIBILITY: THAT S WHAT BMR HYBRIDS DO. Dairyland Seed brand BMR corn silage hybrids deliver a significant increase in fiber digestibility when compared to your typical corn hybrid. Higher digestibility means not only increased dry matter intake (DMI), but also higher milk production and, in many rations, the ability to feed less grain. They are a great complement to our HiDF silage offerings.
