An 18 wheeler run on biofuels is touring the United States to showcase innovations in plant breeding and biotechnology. It’s Monsanto’s Mobile Technology Unit - and it’s making stops in rural communities, at agricultural trade shows and other special events across the country. It gives farmers a look at breeding, crop analytics, biotechnology, Monsanto’s product pipeline and ethanol.

Each year - hundreds of farmers take a tour of Monsanto’s Chesterfield Village laboratories and greenhouses. There they see how investments in research are paying off. Now that tour is on the road. Visitors can see how seed breeders at Monsanto are using exotic seed germplasm from around the world to develop new, high-performing crops for America’s farmers. They can also see how the development of new biotech genes will provide improved weed and insect control - stress tolerance - healthier food oils and stronger yields.
