NEW MYCOGEN SEEDS WEB SITE REFLECTS COMMITMENT TO GROWER PROFITABILITY
10/19/1999
Eagan
Eagan, Minn., October 15, 1999. . . Mycogen Seeds is
helping farmers gain more information – on the Internet.
The newly designed Mycogen Web site allows growers to tap
into crop production calculators, local agronomic advice, as well as product positioning
data and yield comparisons, says Randy Hagen, manager of sales information, Mycogen Seeds.
"‘Mycogen.com’ is a one-stop ag information
site," Hagen says. "In addition to posting company and product information,
we’ve added useful, interactive tools that help farmers make good business
decisions."
For instance, the Web site’s unique online calculators
can help predict cash flow per acre, corn shrinkage for mechanical drying and ECB
pressures, as well as provide useful silage production information and more.
In a special section called "Problem Alert,"
growers can learn about pests, diseases and other issues that may cause yield losses
within a specific geography. This section also offers detailed advice on how to control
these problems.
Farmers also may browse through the library of "Field
Talk" articles for up-to-date research and agronomic information.
"Agriculture is experiencing some dramatic
changes," Hagen says. "With this Web site, we want to deliver information to
growers that is meaningful and useful to their individual operations, and help them make
more efficient use of their time.
"We encourage our sales force, our customers and
others in the seed industry to visit the site and see our new look, as well as the
abundance of information we’ve made available," he says.
Mycogen Seeds, based in Eagan, Minn., is a wholly owned
subsidiary of The Dow Chemical Company. Mycogen markets grain corn, silage corn and
nutritionally enhanced corn seed, as well as sunflower, canola, soybean, alfalfa and
sorghum seed through a distribution system of sales representatives, distributors and
