1 SOUTHERN STATES SOYBEANS To ensure a profitable soybean harvest, you need a soybean variety you can plant with confidence. At Southern States, we are constantly evaluating new seed technologies and looking for superior soybeans that meet your quality standards. Work with your Southern States professional to choose the soybean variety best suited for your region and growing conditions. Feel more confident about your soybean investment this season. GENUITY ROUNDUP READY 2 YIELD SOYBEANS > More beans per pod means more bushels per acre > This is the next generation of the Roundup Ready trait you already trust > Advanced trait insertion delivers more yield opportunity > Farmers across America are seeing more 3, 4 and 5 bean pods CLEANER FIELDS, HIGHER YIELDS Roundup PowerMAX herbicide begins to deliver a lethal dose of weed-killing power directly into the weed in minutes. And if you qualify for the Roundup Rewards Program, you get the added security of the new Roundup PowerMAX Warranty and the new 30-Minute Rainfast Warranty. If you have questions about this new Roundup herbicide, talk to your Southern States professional or visit the Monsanto website at ROUNDUP READY > Provides simple, flexible and dependable weed control with soybean seed tolerant to Monsanto Roundup chemistry LIBERTYLINK Southern States is pleased to offer the only nonselective alternative to glyphosate-tolerant systems. The LibertyLink trait is available in our most trusted, high yielding soybean varieties, providing growers the options to use Ignite herbicide for effective weed management and farming efficiency. > Ignite is fast acting, killing weeds in days versus weeks > Ignite is labeled for use on all LibertyLink crops including corn, soybeans, cotton and canola CONVENTIONAL VARIETIES Not every planting situation calls for biotechnology. That s why Southern States sets the standard in the breeding and development of traditional and enhanced soybeans for your production needs. HERBICIDE TOLERANT BIOTECHNOLOGY Incorporating an enhanced sulfonylurea tolerance trait developed by DuPont, these innovative Southern States soybean varieties allow post-emergent broadleaf weed control with sulfonylurea-based herbicides such as Synchrony. The varieties designated with RT and have both Roundup herbicide tolerance, plus the added feature of allowing the application of Synchrony herbicide post-applied for control of broadleaf weeds. 11

2 Acceleron is a next-generation seed treatment system designed to maximize the performance potential of seeds beginning at planting. An integral part of the Monsanto seed and trait development process, Acceleron matches the most advanced seed treatment technologies with our exclusive germplasm and traits. With benefits for hybrids, varieties and traits across a broad geography, it helps farmers realize greater productivity on their farm. Disease - excellent protection from soil-borne and seed-borne diseases. Insect - industry-leading insecticides to control secondary corn and early-season soybean insects. Plant Health - exclusive plant agent providing enhanced early growth and vigor leading to higher yield potential in soybeans. > Combines the active ingredient in Trilex seed-applied fungicide and Allegiance seed-applied fungicide into one easy-to-use, low-rate product > Provides proven protection against stand-reducing diseases > Local systemic activity of Trilex locks in protection where you need it, at and below the cotyledon > Engineered for application alone or in combination with other seed-applied products Surround Your Seed, Supercharge Your Yield > Offers protection against damage caused by seedcorn maggot, soybean aphids and overwintering bean leaf beetle > Provides broad-spectrum protection against stand-reducing diseases such as Rhizoctonia, Fusarium, Pythium and Phytophthora > Multiple fungicidal modes of action combining traditional crop protection and biological activity > Get up to 4 to 6 extra bushels per acre vs. untreated Plant It and the Protection Grows. Seed-applied product for soybeans combines proven early-season insect control with protection from many significant nematode types, including soybean cyst nematodes. > New biological mode of action introduces revolutionary living-barrier science > Trusted insect protection for corn growers is now available in the soybean market for broad-spectrum insect activity, including bean leaf beetles, seed corn maggots and soybean aphids, along with new wireworm control > Excellent seedling and root protection in all tillage practices leads to an average 1 to 1.5 bu/a yield increase over Gaucho seed-applied insecticide > Valuable seed is protected from the moment it is planted SAVING SOYBEAN SEED FOR REPLANTING? Seed containing the Roundup Ready gene cannot be saved for replanting. Seeds containing the Roundup Ready trait and the Roundup Ready 2 Yield trait are protected under numerous United States patents, including Patent No. RE39,247. It is unlawful to save Roundup Ready soybeans or Roundup Ready 2 Yield soybeans for planting or transfer to others for use as a planting seed. BENEFITS OF USING NEW SOYBEAN SEED CONVENIENCE > Highest quality and highest yielding product vs. bin-run > Meets quality standards of seed company > Professionally handled and rigorously tested > Dramatically reduces splits and foreign matter > Ensures varietal purity > Germination tests to ensure peace of mind > Weed-free > Reliable seed supply in many maturities > Access to the most elite germplasm > Meets U.S. Federal Seed Law standards ECONOMICS OF NEW SEED VS. BIN-RUN > Income lost by not selling as commodity grain (e.g. one bushel of bin-run seed multiplied by the price of a soybean bushel) > Average loss of 10-15% cleanout at harvest for bin-run seed > Handling and transportation costs for bin-run (approx. $.35-$.75/bushel) > Bin-run planting rates are generally 15% higher than new certified seed > New seed yields an average of 1.8 bushel/acre more than bin-run (University yield trials range from bushel/acre) 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 BENEFIT FOR FARMERS? Monsanto s 100% commitment to agriculture Research and Development Milestones > commercial product launches > Pipeline: 11 advanced stage high impact products Impact on the Farm 1 (increase in national farm income) > GM soybeans: $ 1.56 Billion > GM corn: $ 2.00 Billion > GM cotton: $.27 Billion > GM Canola: $.031 Billion > TOTAL $ Billion Industry Support > The Beyond the Seed Program was launched by the American Seed Trade Association (ASTA) to raise awareness and understanding of the value that goes beyond the seed. The future success of U.S. agriculture depends upon quality seed delivered by an industry commitment to bring innovation and performance through continued investment. For more information about seed technology, visit ASTA s Beyond the Seed Program at > Stronger intellectual property rights in the seed sector are associated with higher yield growth 2 > Our very preliminary estimate is that farmers get a $6 benefit for each $1 spent on private sector research Trilex, Allegiance, Gaucho and Poncho are registered trademarks of Bayer. 12
