This is a big announcement. It’s “let’s get along time” in the agribusiness world.

Dow AgroSciences, a subsidiary of The Dow Chemical Company, and Monsanto Company announced today a global business agreement that establishes cooperative arrangements that will give farmers new technology options and more choice in the products to meet their needs.

There’s a lot of information about this agreement available on either website. Powerpoint slides are available on the Monsanto website, under “Investor Information.”
