The document provides an overview of Pioneer's T Series soybeans and research efforts. It summarizes that: 1) Pioneer's T Series soybeans are designed to produce high yields through strong genetics while protecting yields through native defensive traits and local testing. 2) Pioneer has expanded its soybean research facilities and testing network to develop products tailored to local conditions across maturity groups. 3) New T Series products being introduced for 2014 include varieties with improved defensive traits and herbicide tolerances aimed at giving growers the "right product for the right acre."

6. 2013 Soybean On-farm Performance
 Improved competitive yield performance in 2013
 Pioneer® brand T Series soybeans demonstrated improved yield potential and outperformed
the competition
 53 T Series varieties expected to make up about a third of North America soybean volume in 2014
 Successful local testing in IMPACT™ trials resulted in 13 new products with the
Genuity® Roundup Ready 2 Yield® trait expected to represent about 5% of soybean volume in 2014
 Exciting future classes advancing towards commercialization
