Monsanto Testimonial

Shri. Sadanand Sharma, Devan village, Khagaria district Khagaria, Bihar*

"I have been sowing Monsanto DeKalb® maize seeds since 1992. Before that we were using seeds of other companies. However, our financial condition improved after we started planting Monsanto seeds. In 1992, we only had 10 acres of land where we planted different hybrids. Today we own 40 acres of land and a double storey house. I could also educate my daughters before I got them married. Both my sons are studying in the Khagaria city – one of my sons is doing his BA, while the younger one is in 11th standard. This improvement in my life has come thanks to Monsanto's better quality seeds, which ensures better output of my farm land."
