Allegiant seed puts advanced technology to work for you with genetic traits proven
to bring you strong performance at a sensible price. For corn, soybean, and
sunflower growers, these innovative selections can round out any operation’s seed
portfolio with both yield and value. Working with CHS Northern Plains agronomy
experts – local professionals that know your farm – you benefit from a customized
plan that starts, literally, from the ground up.

And when you buy Allegiant seed, you’re buying from the company you own.
Today, CHS is one of the top five ag retailers in the U.S. – thanks to the successful
partnership we have with producer-owners like you. We’re proud to stand behind
this relationship, built on agronomic knowledge, service, integrity, follow-through
and a relentless dedication to helping your operation grow through every market

Profit producing corn to feed and fuel a growing world puts ever-increasing
demands on today’s farms. No one knows that better than CHS, as we’ve proudly
worked side by side with growers for decades to increase corn yields and returns
under a wide range of growing and marketing conditions.

Monsanto Roundup Ready® Corn 2 products contain in-plant tolerance to
glyphosate, the active ingredient in Roundup® agricultural herbicides, putting
broad-spectrum weed control and proven crop safety in your hands.

Monsanto corn trait technologies include Roundup Ready 2 Technology® to help
you maximize yield potential no matter the growing conditions. These products
help boost yield while minimizing risk with protection against targeted threats such
as weeds, insects (like corn rootworms and corn earworms) and drought.

The soybean may be the second-most planted crop in the United States, but it is
number one as a plant-based source of protein. As a leading soybean processor
and producer of soy protein products, CHS has a unique understanding of soybean
production and quality. We are proud to add value to our producer-owners’
soybeans starting from the ground up with sensibly priced soybean varieties
designed to help you realize higher yields. The Allegiant seed soybean portfolio
includes top-tier genetics and built-in resistance, at an unmatched value.

Monsanto Genuity® Roundup Ready 2 Yield® soybean traits provide in-plant
tolerance to Roundup® herbicides for dependable weed control, giving you more
beans per pod for more bushels per acre. Roundup Ready 2 Xtend® soybeans go
a step further by providing both glyphosate and dicamba* herbicide tolerance in
addition to the high-yielding soybean technology.

Your local CHS Northern Plains agronomy experts will help you select the right
Allegiant seed for your farm operation. Let them help you maximize your seed
selection with everything from crop nutrients and crop protection to the latest
precision technologies. You can trust CHS to help you make the most of each and
every acre.

Performance at a value price from people you can count on.
