Date:8/13/2009

GRINNELL, Iowa, Aug. 13, 2009 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Monsanto Company's (NYSE: MON) R&D pipeline is on the verge of a technology explosion that is expected to deliver value-added products with improved yield for growers and has the company poised to meet its goals for 2012 and beyond, Hugh Grant, Monsanto's chairman, chief executive officer and president, will tell investors today.
