2 AT CHAION SEED we take our name to heart. True champions never settle. They are relentless, determined and hungry. They pick themselves up, stare down the face of defeat and start over, fortified and determined to succeed. True champions are driven by something more than a single taste of victory. They are driven by a passion and strength of character that can only come from within. For them, a personal best isn t a final achievement. It s just a step along the TABLE OF CONTENTS Soybean Seed Treatments...2 Technologies...3 The ower of the allet...4 Seed Corn Characteristics Seed Corn roducts Soybean Characteristics Soybean roducts Equalizer Soybean Blends...31 way to something even greater. At Champion Seed we bring the spirit of a true champion to everything we do.

3 COETITIVE DRIVE. STRONG FOCUS. Champion brings big drive and passion to a very tightly focused footprint. For over a decade that focus has fueled our strength and our growth. As a family-owned, independent company, we aren t restricted to only one technology platform or trait package. This gives us control to handselect from a broad array of hybrids and varieties we are confident will win on your farm. NEVER SETTLING IS JUST IN OUR DNA. No matter how well we perform this year, no matter the extent to which we outperform the competition, there s always room to do better, reach higher and yield more. And, should other Nature take a swing, we re ready to stand by our customers and do even more. So in typical fashion, we re starting 2015 stronger than ever with a blockbuster line-up of platforms and traits. We ve worked hard, sized up our competitors and are ready to win. THE HEART OF A THE HANDS OF A FARER. ARE YOU A CHAION? Over the years we ve come to a simple revelation: The only way to stay a champion is to work better with champions. And that s exactly what we do. We work to instill the spirit of a champion in every member of our team, and we want to do business with farmers who share this spirit. We re not interested in second-rate products, and we don t want to do business with farmers who aren t fiercely focused on bringing everything they ve got, every day. That s where you come in. Our farmers are focused, disciplined and practical. If that s you, then read on. We ve got the products, team and expertise to make this a winning season for you and your farm, and make the next even stronger. Because champions don t win games. They build legacies. So let s go win CHAION SEED LINE-U

4 SOYBEAN SEED TREATENT SOYBEAN SEED TREATENT Elevate Your rotection. Elevate Your erformance. Elevate Your Game with Our roprietary Seed rotection Blends. Our independence gives us the freedom to access and evaluate the best chemical platforms available as part of our proprietary line of high-performing soybean seed treatment offerings. Our seed treatment options provide just the right balance and blend to ensure maximum protection and optimal performance for the farmland we serve. We re proud to introduce two proprietary seed treatment brands available only through Champion Seed.

6 THE OWER OF THE ALLET THE OWER OF EVERY CHAION HAS ONE THING IN COON. They have a strong game plan and a strong team, and they realize preparation is the key to winning. That s why we suggest planting more of your field with Champion Seed this season. We call this the power of the pallet and here s the thinking: Like any good team there is power in numbers and without at least 60 units in a field, you can t get the right mix of product diversity to tackle whatever other Nature throws your way. Increase your overall volume and ensure a sufficient amount of each variety this helps deliver better results. Save money with our pricing and benefit program for growers planting a pallet or more. See stronger, more stable and consistent results over time by diversifying the varieties you plant. Improve consistency season after season.

Champion growers will benefit the most from blends in fields which have varying levels of productivity and ph. In areas prone to fungus or nutrient deficiency, the blend component with the best disease tolerance will maintain yield. And in highly productive areas the component with top-end will pull ahead, equalizing yield potential and boosting field averages. 22R04N Excellent standability 1c and 1k hytophthora gene edium height, edium-bush 24R04N BSR resistant Best hytophthora protection edium-tall height, edium-bush 28R05N Super emergence & Vigor edium-tall height, edium width Great SDS protection YLD RR IDC BSR W SDS YLD RR IDC BSR W SDS YLD RR IDC BSR W SDS EQUALIZER SOYBEAN BLENDS 30R05N Very good standability ultiple hytophthora genes Slim and medium-tall height 33R04N Very good standability Rps 1k hytophthora tolerance edium height and branchy YLD RR IDC BSR W SDS YLD RR IDC BSR W SDS 31
