Roundup Ready Soybeans
Myths and Realities

Myth: Monsanto doesn't care about agriculture and the American farmer. False.

Reality: Monsanto is now 100% Focused on agriculture and the American farmer is Monsanto's most important and valued customer. Monsanto must continue to produce superior products that growers want and sell them at a fair price. Like any publicly held business they must make a return for investors in the company. Monsanto can no longer depend on industrial chemicals, sweeteners or pharmaceutical products. Monsanto reinvests in research and development everyday to bring future U.S. product to farmers. Additionally, Monsanto continues to share technologies with public soybean research for improving yield, disease resistance and quality characteristics.

Myth: U. S. farmers can no longer save seed. False.

Reality: Farmers can still save seed for their own farms, as long as it does not contain patented technologies or varieties that are sold under a "single use restriction" license. Seeds containing patented Roundup Ready Soybean technology cannot be saved. Growers who want to save seed should discuss this desire with their seed supplier and choose unpatented conventional soybean seed.

Roundup Ready Soybeans are simply the most profitable way to grow soybeans. You can spray Roundup agricultural herbicides in-crop from emergence through flowering for unsurpassed weed control, proven crop safety and maximum yield potential.

Growers can maximize profit opportunities with no-till and the Roundup Ready Soybean System – more than $24 per acre greater gross profit potential.
With the Roundup Ready Soybean System, convenient, simple, unsurpassed weed control takes the worry out of soybean production.
With reduced tillage and the Roundup Ready System's unmatched weed control and flexibility, growers get more time to spend on other activities.
Roundup Ready Soybeans have helped drive down the cost of weed control. Since 1996, average soybean herbicide costs have declined 46 percent.
Input costs for the Roundup Ready system-seed plus chemicals-have decreased over the last six years while other input costs rose.
