After months of negotiations, Bayer AG and Monsanto Company today signed a definitive merger agreement to create a “Global Leader in Agriculture.” The $128 per share all-cash transaction, represents a 44 percent premium to Monsanto shareholders and an aggregate value of $66 billion – so it’s a really big deal.

Following a one hour global press conference, Liam Condon of Bayer and Dr. Robb Fraley with Monsanto held calls with small groups of reporters in the U.S., including us, Brownfield, Ag Week and Farm Journal – so that is our ZimmCast for this week.
