| BUY | 67.480 | Prakash Hariharan | In the feed genetic space. Good company and a nice value play. Very strong balance sheet and well-positioned in Europe. Has been making a lot of forays into South America and gaining market traction. Chemical division has been a bit of a drag. | 2011-06-29 | |

| Comment | 52.780 | David Driscoll | This is the Swiss seed and agriculture stock. Have struggled because farmers have not been buying as much fertilizer. His choice would be Dupont (DD-N), which gives him more than just agriculture. Has no problem with this one except you will have to be very patient. | 2010-04-07 | |
| PAST TOP PICK | 50.900 | Norman Levine | (A Top Pick Jan 27/09. Up 34.54%.) This remains his agricultural play. Still a Buy. | 2010-01-28 | |

Outlook for grain plantings globally, especially in the US, is quite good for next year. Grain prices are high. #2 seed company had a very promising seed, which they pulled from the market because of problems in this company will be able to fill the void. | 2009-12-23 | |
| TOP PICK | 54.960 | Norman Levine | A Swiss Company. Third largest seed and largest pesticide company in the world. Undervalued on its own and compared to piers. Dupont’s latest generation of seed has problems and wont be available.. Thinks next year will be a good season for planting and prices will stay high. | 2009-12-08 | |

| TOP PICK | 56.100 | Norman Levine | (A Top Pick July 18/07. Up 41%.) Largest global manufacturer of herbicides/pesticides and 3rd largest seed company. Got ahead of itself when it got into the $60’s and he sold some of his holdings. Outlook for agriculture looks good. | 2008-07-21 | |
| DON'T BUY | 58.220 | David Driscoll | Trading at about 17X cash flow. Would like to see the price 25% to 30% lower. At these levels it is very hard to justify on a valuation basis. If you own, consider rebalancing your portfolio. | 2008-07-04 | |
