BASF announced today that it is concentrating its plant biotechnology activities on the main markets in North and South America. The company will adjust the portfolio and site footprint of its subsidiary BASF Plant Science to reflect this change. The headquarters of BASF Plant Science will be moved from Limburgerhof, Germany, to Raleigh,North Carolina. Research and development activities will be concentrated mainly in Raleigh, Ghent, Belgium and Berlin, Germany. Development and commercialization of all products targeted solely at cultivation in the European market will be halted. Regulatory approval processes which have already started will be continued. "We are convinced that plant biotechnology is a key technology for the 21st century. However, there is still a lack of acceptance for this technology in many parts of Europe - from the majority of consumers, farmers and politicians. Therefore, it does not make businesssense to continue investing in products exclusively for cultivation in this market," said Dr. Stefan Marcinowski, member of the Board of Executive Directors of BASF, responsible for plant biotechnology. "We will therefore concentrate on the attractive markets for plant biotechnology in North and South America and the growth markets in Asia." |

Horizon Ag reports that the CL151 variety continues to lead in sales while CL 111 is generating a lot of conversation among farmers due to the excellent seedling vigor. If CL111 yields close to CL151 and has the milling quality similar to CL161 then farmers (and mills) will be demanding this variety next season. Horizon’s new lines of CL142-AR and CL181-AR are both indicating an excellent choice in many areas of the rice belt. Horizon Ag has also set up demonstration areas this season to showcase the proper management for CLEARFIELD varieties region by region. For information about these locations with regional reports from throughout the gulf coast and delta growing areas see the newsletter attachment below, or visit www.horizonseed.com
