	Seed Stewardship Policy
	Prairie Brand Seed products containing any seed with Monsanto patented traits or seeds, including conventional seed containing a Monsanto or Monsanto Affiliate germplasm patent may not be saved to plant again. Planting saved seed with these traits is a patent infringement against Monsanto and is against the law.


	Benefits of New Seed Versus Bin Run
	Purchasing new seed is a convenient way to ensure access to the most elite germplasm. Buying new seed also ensures a reliable supply of elite germplasm across all maturities. New seed yields an average of 1.8 bushels per acre more than bin run. In addition, planting rates for bin run seed are generally 15% higher than new, professionally cleaned seed. Buying new seed gives you access to company provided agronomic support before and after the sale. With the purchase of Roundup® brand herbicide, you can participate in the Roundup Rewards® program, which has paid out over $500 million to growers since 1997. Purchasing new seed supports development of new traits and higher yielding germplasm. Monsanto research and development invested over $588 million in 2005.
