YieldGard VTTM technology combines traits into a single DNA-insertion process, which is more efficient and less time-consuming in developing stacked trait products than previous methods. The process is called Vector-Stack Transformation, or VecTranTM.

Lewis' 2008 YieldGard VT Triple hybrids will provide you with improved consistency, better insect and root protection and the higher yield potential you expect from us.

Improved consistency - More consistent protein levels are present in YieldGard VT roots, creating a barrier to more effectively control corn rootworm pests.

Better insect protection - Higher protein
levels at a higher concentration are more evenly distributed throughout the root. Rootworms have substantially fewer points of entry into the corn to feed. YieldGard® Corn Borer delivers in-plant protection against European and southwestern corn borer throughout the stalk.

Better root protectioN - YieldGard VT hybrids consistently scored better in root protection than first-generation YieldGard hybrids.

Higher yield potential - YieldGard VT is offered in high-quality, high-yielding hybrids, and is the platform for future YieldGard stacked products.

For more than a decade, YieldGard has set the standard for maximum insect protection. Consistent in-plant control gives corn bigger roots, healthier stalks and an average 8 to 10 bushel an acre yield advantage over corn treated with insecticides.

Ethanol is perhaps the fastest growing market opportunity for U.S. corn growers. USDA estimates ethanol adds up to 30 cents per bushel to the value of your corn.

Processor Preferred HFC hybrids are selected for their strong agronomic characteristics and high ethanol yield. Lewis has found these hybrids deliver proven performance across the corn belt with traits and genetics that maximize your yield potential.

WITH PROCESSOR PREFERRED HFC, YOU CAN EXPECT MORE:
· Ethanol yield per bushel potential
· Local economic activity to support your local economy
· Energy independence that's renewable and environmentally friendly

You can do more to drive U.S. energy independence. Take a serious look at Processor Preferred HFC hybrids for 2008. Ask us which hybrids will work best on your farm.
