Bayer Crop Sciences executives address acquisition questions

Bayer Crop Sciences took time at the Farm Progress Show to explain some changes now that the acquisition of Monsanto is final.

“Not a lot has changed eight days into the deal from what we have been telling our agricultural customers around the world that we intended to do and that was to take a terrific crop protection portfolio, a great traits and seeds portfolio, and the world’s best digital platform for agriculture and bring those together into one company and leverage all of that technology together to drive innovation in agriculture faster than we have seen agriculture drive innovation before.”

Chief Operating Officer of Bayer Crop Science Brett Begemann and Bob Reiter, Head of Research and Development spoke during a press conference about their products, technology and goals moving forward.

A question and answer session was conducted at the end which brought up topics such as Dicamba complaints, Glyphosate lawsuits and investments in communities.
