to our customers will continue to be our goal.”

Dear Friend of Dairyland:
The 2017 – 2018 sales season marks the 110th year
for this business, now known as Dairyland Seed.
The business has undergone many changes during
this time, adapting to meet ever-evolving market
demands and adjusting to changes in leadership.
However, none of these changes were more significant than what the
company faced this past fall—the loss of a leader, a visionary, and most of
all, a friend of ours and the agriculture industry. Of course, I am talking
about the passing of Tom Strachota.
True to the values that have allowed us to be in business for 110 years,
we at Dairyland Seed were positioned to carry on the traditions instilled
by Tom and his family members since the company began. We are proud to
say that we have continued doing what has always been done—taking care AS PROUD AS WE ARE
of our customers fairly and ethically with the best products and services
we can provide. OF THE PAST, WE ARE
As proud as we are of the past, we are equally as excited about the future
of Dairyland and our opportunity to earn your trust and business. 2018
EQUALLY AS EXCITED
will continue to bring change to agriculture and Dairyland, but we are
confident in our direction and our ability to thrive amidst that change.
ABOUT THE FUTURE
We will stick to our core values and live by our “5 Rules.” For those who are OF DAIRYLAND AND
unfamiliar with these rules, they are listed below. They may only be 23
words, but they say quite a lot. We believe in them, and we live them daily. OUR OPPORTUNITY
• Do the right thing.
• Listen more than you talk.
• Tell the truth.
TO EARN YOUR
• If you screw it up, fix it.
• The customer comes first.

We look forward to working with you and earning your business in 2018! GARY LEEPER

REFUGE AND Bt MANAGEMENT
Practicing sound Bt management and following grain marketing requirements are crucial to protecting your crop plan options, today and in the
future. When planting hybrids with in-plant traits, it’s important that you follow all applicable Insect Resistant Management (IRM) and grain
marketing requirements. Consult Corn Product Use Guide for complete details.

Agrisure® GT/CB/LL, Agrisure 3000GT, and Agrisure 3110 require a 20% refuge in the Corn Belt
and a 50% refuge in the Cotton Belt.
Agrisure 3122 and Agrisure Viptera® 3220 require a 5% refuge in the Corn Belt and a 20%
5% refuge equals 5 acres of non-Bt corn for every 95 acres of Bt corn planted refuge in the Cotton Belt.
20% refuge equals 20 acres of non-Bt corn for every 80 acres of Bt corn planted
50% refuge equals 50 acres of non-Bt corn for every 50 acres of Bt corn planted For Cotton Belt refuge requirements, consult Corn Product Use Guide.
REFUGE LOCATION AND CONFIGURATION OPTIONS
The structured refuge may be planted as an in-field refuge or an adjacent (e.g., across the road) refuge. Refuge required for Herculex I Insect
Protection and PowerCore® trait technology as well as SmartStax in states where CRWS are not significant also may be planted as a separate
block that is within a half-mile of the Bt field. In-field refuge options include blocks, perimeter strips (i.e., strips around the field) or in-field
strips. In-field blocks or strips must be at least four consecutive rows wide. Seed mixtures of Bt and non-Bt corn (other than the mixture
provided as Refuge Advanced®) are not permitted. When switching between Bt hybrids and the seed to be planted in the refuge, planter
hoppers should be cleaned out to avoid inadvertent mixing of seed. Growers should calculate the acres required for refuge and plant the
appropriate amount of refuge seed for the configuration options selected. For example, in choosing to plant in-field strips, a grower must
calculate how much refuge seed is needed to meet the minimum refuge requirement and fill the refuge planter boxes with that amount. Strips
should be planted until the minimum refuge seed is completely used. The remainder of the field can then be planted with Bt seed in all boxes.

PowerCore® and SmartStax®
