7. Monmouth Agronomy Center
The Monmouth Agronomy Center near
Monmouth, Illinois, was developed to
provide answers and solutions to
current questions and issues raised in
production agriculture.
From our research labs to classroom
training and plot tours, discovery is the
driving force behind everything we do.
Every day, we move forward with
advanced research in corn and soybean
production to better meet the needs of
the farmer and consumer. However,
our commitment goes beyond
discovering and exploring agronomic
solutions. We are dedicated to sharing
that knowledge with the public –
consumers, farmers, retailers, crop
consultants, legislators, and investors.
Sharing our technical information and
innovation is one way we continue to
pave the way to improved productivity
in the future. At the Monmouth
Agronomy Center, you will learn about
agronomic issues affecting farmers
today – as well as tomorrow.
Some of the more common topics
attendees are interested in include:
weeds, insects, diseases, tillage,
fertility utilization, hybrids and
varieties, intensive corn and soybean
management systems, plant
populations, plant spatial arrangement,
herbicide application, and future
technologies.
On behalf of our team and everyone at
Monsanto, welcome to Monmouth.

8. Understanding the Pipeline
Pipeline Process and Phases
The product pipeline tracks through five phases. The early phases abound with
investigative activity as our researchers systematically test concepts, models and
leads for products whose commercial introduction may still be a decade away. Tens
of thousands of candidates are screened and tested for every project that makes its
way through all five phases, eventually reaching the market.
It is generally reasonable to think about each phase as a two‐year stage, although
that can vary depending on technical milestones and external factors like regulatory
approvals. Whenever we discuss projects, we’ll do so in terms of the phase it is in –
rather than a specific launch date. This approach provides a better indicator of a
project’s actual status in the development process, and it acknowledges the
variability inherent in the specific timing of any commercial launch.

each discovery platform will generate new

OVERALL VALUATION METRICS
Valuations for each project or project family are represented by commercial value
ranges (noted above). The valuations are based on the following criteria:
• Valuation reflects expected annual gross sales value in the year 2020, which
provides a time horizon to see the maturation of key projects in Phase 2 and
forward, as well as the effect of multi‐project families in our Yield and Stress
pipeline.
• Gross sales are presented for the initial country of launch only. Expansion to
additional countries would represent upside to the presented valuation ranges.
• Acre opportunities are based on acres where there is a technology fit.
Additionally, acre opportunities reflect only the acres that correspond to the
shares accessed in each respective market by Monsanto’s branded and licensed
channels. These opportunities do not assume any changes to share or that
major competitors adopt Monsanto’s technology platforms. 2007 market
shares are used as the base for assumptions.

10. Valuing the Pipeline
• Valuation estimates are specific to the traits, regardless of the stacked
combination in which it is sold. These valuations do not reflect value
attributed to other traits or germplasm.
• Second‐ and third‐generation traits reflect combined values – including the
replacement value for the previous generation and incremental value
associated with increased functionality of the second‐ or third‐generation.
• Assumed launch dates coordinate with phase placement in the R&D pipeline
and normal progression timelines.
YIELD & STRESS VALUATION METRICS
In 2007, Monsanto announced a Yield and Stress collaboration with BASF. For
projects in this segment of the pipeline, there are additional key criteria that factor
into valuation:
• Projects are valued as families because individual projects never reach peak
penetration before successive generation projects are commercialized.
• The profit in Yield and Stress will be shared with BASF, as the collaboration
structure was established with a commercial‐value ratio of 60% Monsanto –
40% BASF.
Footnotes on Project Pages:
1. 2020 value reflects gross sales opportunity in launch country in year 2020
2. Acre opportunity reflects areas where technology fits at Monsanto’s current 2007‐
