Monsanto Company announced the completion of a US $3 million expansion project at its Jerseyville, Illinois, US, location. The expansion of this historic site – which conducted the world’s very first biotechnology field trial in 1987, with first tomatoes and later that year with Roundup Ready soybeans – includes a new office building and a new state-of-the-art seed processing facility.
The Jerseyville facility manages biotechnology field trials for projects in Monsanto’s research-and-development pipeline like dicamba-tolerant soybeans, water use efficiency cotton, nitrogen use efficiency corn, Roundup Ready 2 Yield soybeans, and drought tolerant corn, as well as processes seed for further field trials in other Midwestern states.
