Farmers such as Gene Stehly of Mitchell, South Dakota, are looking forward to the introduction of Monsanto’s second-generation herbicide-tolerant soybean technology, Roundup Ready 2 Yield . The product will offer farmers a 7 percent to 11 percent yield advantage and weed control flexibility.

Since the yield increase presents a real step-change in performance for soybean growers, it represents an expanded profit opportunity for their farms and our business. This product will serve as the foundation on which we plan to stack our next round of traits including insect protection in Latin America as well as our consumer-oriented traits, like our Vistive family of improved oil products.

Craig and Gene Stehly use Monsanto’s Asgrow brand of Roundup Ready soybeans to manage weeds and protect yield on their family farm in South Dakota.

The Stehly brothers look forward to the introduction of Roundup Ready 2 Yield soybeans and the higher yield opportunity on each acre.
