2015 pRodUCt gUIdE FreedoM to choose pRoVEn to pERfoRm trait technologies from monsanto, bayer, dow and syngenta PROVEN TO PERFORM K AU F FM A N S EEDS’ main interest is in making sure all of our customers get the best quality seed for their needs. Whether it is selecting field crops or cover crops. We are constantly looking for the newest products in the market place that will allow customers the best chance for making a profit. Kauffman Seeds, Inc. - Haven, KS It isn’t only about the highest yield, but how much profit you make per acre. We want to make sure every customer has a good feeling about what they are doing with seed purchased here. We are here to serve and help answer your questions regardless of how trivial they may be. Either email us or for a more personal touch give us a call. We would be glad to help you with your questions or problems. Kauffman Seeds was started in 1965 by Edward Kauffman as an Alfalfa seed cleaning business. In 1972 Jerry and Lois Wyse started taking over the business from Lois’s dad. At that time certified wheat was added to the business. In the middle eighties saw the introduction of Soybeans both in production and processing. Seed wheat, alfalfa, and soybeans were the mainstay of the operation. In 1995, Midland Genetics was formed as several seed companies joined forces to launch a breeding program to get ready for the introduction of Roundup Ready Soybeans. Corn, Grain Sorghum, and Forages were added to the selling lines all under the Midland Genetics brand name. In 2005 Tom Clayman and Dustin Miller purchased Kauffman Seeds from Jerry and Lois Wyse. The current ownership has maintained the business as it was and has added cover crops to facilitate more of our customers’ needs. 1 FREEDOM TO CHOOSE CORN TECHNOLOGIES PR RIB Genuity® VT Double PRO® RIB Complete® Corn Blend Genuity® VT Double PRO® RIB Complete® Corn Blend is a blend of 95% B.t. seed and 5% nonB.t. seed. You get all the benefits of Genuity® VT Double PRO® Corn Blend, plus the convenience of 5% non-B.t. seed, interspersed in every bag. Genuity® VT Double PRO® RIB Complete® Corn Blend provides the broadest spectrum of above ground insect protection, two modes of action against corn earworm, and 5% non-B.t seed built right in, the lowest in the Corn-Growing Area. It also contains the first double-stacked trait with dual modes of action for above ground insects and maximum protection against corn earworm. PR DG RIB Genuity® DroughtGard® Hybrid with VT Double Pro® RIB Complete® Corn Blend Genuity® DroughtGard® Hybrids with VT Double PRO® RIB Complete® Corn Blend contain the first double-stacked trait with dual modes of action for above ground insects and maximum protection against corn earworm. Superior genetics along with innovative drought-tolerant trait technology helps DroughtGard® Hybrids withstand drought conditions for a better chance of maximizing kernels per ear and overall yield potential. PRW RIB Genuity® VT Triple PRO® RIB Complete® Corn Blend Genuity® VT Triple PRO® RIB Complete® Corn Blend offers farmers dual modes-of-action for protection against above-ground insects, a single mode-of-action for corn rootworm protection and herbicide tolerance. The single-bag is a blend of 90% insect-protected and 10% refuge seed, contains herbicide tolerance, a single mode of action for corn rootworm control and dual modes of action for above-ground insect protection - including corn earworm, fall armyworm and European and Southwestern corn borer. It is a great fit in geographies experiencing low to moderate rootworm pressure. RR Roundup Ready® Corn 2 contains in-plant tolerance to Roundup® brand herbicides, enabling growers to spray Roundup® brands over the top, from planting through the V8 stage or 30inch corn height, with excellent crop safety and no yield reduction. Compared to popular conventional corn programs, the Roundup Ready® Corn 2 system costs less, while allowing hybrids to reach their maximum yield potential. While the U.S. regulatory agencies have given full approval to Roundup Ready® Corn 2 for commerce in the U.S. for marketing and consumption as food, food ingredients and feed for livestock, certain regulatory approvals are pending in certain export markets. For more information on these approvals, or for assistance in locating domestic grain outlets, see the American Seed Trade Association web site (www. amseed.org) or contact Monsanto directly at 800-768-6387.

Seed containing patented traits, such as seed containing the Roundup Ready® and Roundup Ready 2 Yield® traits, can only be used to plant 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 Agreement and 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. 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% higher 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. STS® is a tolerance gene that allows aggressive rates of either Synchrony® XP herbicide or Harmony® SG herbicide tank mixed with glyphosate in post, incrop applications. This provides a simple, costeffective weed control option for tough weeds such as lambsquarters, marestail, morning glory, ragweeds, yellow nutsedge, and many other broadleaf or sedge weeds in soybeans.

KAUFFMAN SEED W H E AT F I E L D D AY May 15, 2015 29 WHEAT PRODUCTS 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 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. Respect the Rotation™ is an initiative to elevate the importance and grower adoption of herbicide diversity to prevent or manage weed resistance. Glyphosate weed resistance is a dominating threat throughout the United States that affects land values, rental agreements, conservation tillage and can greatly reduce yields. The use of Integrated Weed Management practices, such as use of residuals, pre-emergence herbicides and rotation of crops, traits and herbicides, is critical as no one method is likely to be completely successful.
