DuPont Expects Increased Global Seed Corn Share, Continued Agriculture Earnings Growth
Date:2/10/2009

Strong Pipeline and Superior Distribution System Will Continue to Fuel Growth and Generate Cash

"Brazilian farmers have been looking for a solution like Herculex(R) to increase their yields and reduce the number of times they need to spray for insects."
