Affordability Increased Yield

• Critical to stay pace with increasing populations
  and fewer acres
• Adoption of hybrid seed and management practices
  make big difference
• Break-through targets for plant genetics yield,
  drought tolerance, nitrogen efficiency
• Safer more effective crop pesticide technology

Improving Nutrition Health with Plant Genetics

• NutriumTM low lin soy oil
• Launched 2004
• Eliminates or reduces trans fats
• Less hydrogenation
• More stable soy oil
• Future soybean products with further improved
  functionality and nutrition

NUTRIUMTM low linolenic soybean oil
Significantly reduces trans fats for light frying
