The horizon is a hazy orange line in an otherwise dark sky. It’s 5:45 a.m. on the first day of my stay in Iowa.
My team opted to drive from St. Louis to Boone, IA yesterday. Surrounded by fields upon fields of corn and soy, it made me really think about what Monsanto is aiming to do for agriculture. We drove past seemingly endless fields of green, healthy crops that looked like they could feed thousands, a nagging thought kept tugging at me: this still isn’t enough.
And that’s what Monsanto is trying to change.
We’re on the highway again this early morning, heading toward the Farm Progress site. The show officially starts tomorrow, but today we get a preview of the technology showcase and a behind-the-scenes look before the growers arrive.
The sun is almost up now, and it’s time I drink some coffee and enjoy the ride. The fields look gorgeous in the morning mist and I can tell it’s going to be a good day.

hi emily.
Welcome to fascinating world of Monsanto, while it is a "cap" transition from a wannabe journalist to a communication specialist, your vivid description surely has captivated us, thousands of green acre farms is not surely sufficient to satiate growing human needs. With the debate continuing between feed and fuel, Monsanto is surely focused on improving farmers life and improve yields . Every country not yet adopting GM has an opportunity to embrace the technology benefits. It is visual contrast when one sees the benefits between countries adopting GM technologies and those not adopting it, we are confident slowly the countries would be having fewer choices as economies begin to start competing. We are eagerly looking forward to Monsanto making a "WORLD OF DIFFERENCE" in a different world.
