LibertyLink® soybeans with Liberty® herbicide is the most reliable management solution for weeds resistant to glyphosate and multiple herbicide classes. LibertyLink soybean varieties combine elite genetics and excellent crop safety with built-in tolerance to the powerful, post emergence weed control of Liberty. High-yielding LibertyLink soybean varieties are available in a range of maturities. Liberty herbicide, applied over the top of LibertyLink soybean varieties, provides powerful control of broadleaf and grass weeds, including weeds resistant to glyphosate and multiple herbicide classes. Genuity® Roundup Ready 2 Yield® soybean seed and any product of a Genuity® Roundup Ready 2 Yield® soybean seed or crop can only be exported t, or used, processed 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 biotech traits across boundaries into nations where import is not permitted. Roundup Ready® Soybeans contain in-plant tolerance to Roundup® brand herbicides, enabling growers to spray labeled brands for Roundup® over the top, from emergence throughout flowering, for superior weed control, excellent crop safety and maximum yield potential. Since they were first introduced several years ago, Roundup Ready® soybeans have shown consistent and reliable performance. Outstanding yields and reduced input costs mean that Roundup Ready® soybeans, used in a Roundup Ready® system, offer growers more profit opportunities than conventional soybeans. BENEFITS OF NEW SEED Convenience • High quality and high yield potential product vs. bin-run • Reliable seed supply in many maturities Economics of New Seed vs. Bin-Run • Average loss of ~10-15% cleanout at harvest for bin-run seed • Bin-Run planting rates are generally 15% highers than new certified seed 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 • Monsanto’s 100% commitment to agriculture • Our very preliminary estimate is that farmers get a $6 benefit for each $1 spent on private sector research. SOYBEAN PIRACY STATEMENT Seeds containing the Roundup Ready® trait and the Genuity® Roundup Ready 2 Yield® trait are protected under numerous U.S. patents.Seed containing patented traits, such as seed containing the Roundup Ready and Roundup Ready 2 Yield® traits, can only be used toplant a single commercial crop. It is unlawful to save and replant Roundup Ready® soybeans and Genuity Roundup Ready 2 Yield®soybeans. Additional information and limitations on these products are provided in the Monsanto Technology Stewardship Agreementand the Monsanto Technology Use Guide. The licensed U.S. patents for Monsanto technologies can be found at the following webpage:http://www.monsanto.com/productpatents LIBERTYLINK PATENT STATEMENT Soybean seeds containing the LibertyLink® trait are protected under multiple United States patents and may be planted only to produce one (1) commercial crop and only after signing a Grower Trait License agreement. It is illegal to save or catch soybean seeds containing the LibertyLink trait for use as planting seed or for transfer to others for use as planting seed. Before opening a bag of seed, be sure to read and understand the stewardship requirements, including applicable refuge requirements for insect resistance management, for the biotechnology traits expressed in the seed as set forth in the technology agreement that you sign. By opening and using a bag of seed, you are reaffirming your obligation to comply with those stewardship requirements. Monsanto Company is a member of Excellence Through Stewardship® (ETS). Monsanto products are commercialized in accordance with ETS Product Launch Stewardship Guidance, and in compliance with Monsanto’s Policy for Commercialization of Biotechnology-Derived Plant Products in Commodity Crops.

PRESERVING HERBICIDE TECHNOLOGY: Respect the Rotation™ is an initiative to elevate importance and improve grower adoption of herbicide diversity through the rotation of crops, traits and herbicide classes. Rotate crops. Crop rotation provides opportunity for herbicide diversity. Rotate herbicide-tolerant traits. Alternate herbicide-tolerant traits or use of herbicide tolerant stacks for more efficient rotation of both nonselective and selective herbicides. Rotate modes of action (MOA) and use multiple MOA to reduce the selection pressure caused by overusing a single MOA. Respect the Rotation is a trademark of Bayer.

2014 Viking Corn Guide, Proudly Distributed by NorthStar Genetics
We are excited about the coming year! Viking Corn and NorthStar Genetics are working hard to bring value to corn growers in Minnesota, North Dakota, and South Dakota. Here are just a few of the reasons we stand above the rest when it comes to our products. • PERFORMANCE We are excited to offer a lineup of corn that is second-to-none. • REFUGE-IN-A-BAG SIMPLICITY Of the 20 corn hybrids NorthStar is offering this year, 16 do not require a separate refuge. • REAL UNDERSTANDING OF THE NEEDS OF NORTHERN CORN GROWERS Growing corn in North Dakota, South Dakota, and Minnesota is not like growing corn in Iowa or Illinois. NorthStar Genetics understands this because our people live and work here.
• CORN PLOTS WHERE YOU PLANT CORN NorthStar Genetics is putting in their own corn plots in northern Minnesota and North Dakota to test their hybrids where they are actually going to be planted. • VALUE If we want to be successful, we have to make sure that our customers are successful. To do that, we have to provide value outside of the great seed in our bags and pro-boxes. We strive to do that by understanding where and how you farm before we make product recommendations, and then delivering on your expectations. Every time.

Albert Lea Seed Offers Viking Brand Seed Corn Hybrids With Agrisure® GT (Glyphosate Tolerant) Agrisure GT provides tolerance to in-crop applications of glyphosatebased herbicides (including Roundup ® ), with a full range of assurances that do not limit a grower’s glyphosate brand selection. Corn hybrids with Agrisure GT exhibit outstanding tolerance to in-crop applications of glyphosate-based herbicides—the active ingredient in Roundup and Touchdown ® herbicides.
Corn hybrids with Agrisure GT are carefully selected to provide not only outstanding glyphosate tolerance via the trait, but also to preserve the genetic potential of the hybrid via the proven inbred line conversion process. This dual focus results in new choices of corn hybrids that deliver best-in-class performance. Agrisure ® is a registered trademark of a Syngenta Group Company. Roundup Ready ® is a trademark of Monsanto Company.
