2013 Tim Hortons Roar of the Rings – Morning Roar
Tough Tuesday thins men’s field
JIM MORRIS
The Morning Roar
All losses hurt but some defeats kill a dream.
Glenn Howard looked poised to climb back into the playoff mix Tuesday night but saw his hopes crushed when old foe
Kevin Martin managed what looked impossible.
Trailing 7-4 after eight ends, Martin took advantage of a couple of Howard misses, then made a takeout to count four in the
ninth. The defending Olympic champion then stole a point in
the 10th for an improbable 9-7 win when Howard missed on a
double-raise takeout with his final stone.
Losing a game he couldn’t afford to lose dropped Howard’s
record to 1-3 and all but extinguished his playoff hopes at the
2013 Tim Hortons Roar of the Rings Canadian Curling Trials,
presented my Monsanto.
“That was the worst loss of my life,” said a clearly dejected
Howard. “Three up playing nine, give up a four, I don’t think I’ve
ever done that ever. It’s disastrous.”
Martin looked emotionally drained after the win, which
improved his record to 4-0.
“I’m spent,” said the Edmonton skip, who earlier in the day
needed a last-rock takeout for a 6-5 win over Calgary’s Kevin
Koe. “It’s just hard out there.
“It’s a very emotional day. All four (wins) have been battles to
the last inch. It’s tough on us. I guess that’s why I have so many
wrinkles.”
Brad Jacobs of Sault Ste. Marie, Ont., also improved to 4-0
with a 9-4, eight-end win over Koe. That dropped Koe to 0-4
and ended his hopes of being one of the three teams making
the playoffs.
“It’s disappointing,” said the 2010 world champion. “We had
hoped to do better.
“We played pretty good. We just couldn’t come up with the
big shots when we needed them and other teams did against
us.”
Jacobs said his rink is riding a wave of momentum.
“This is the best we have played in the last year,” said the
defending Brier champion. “We need to keep these games
going. It feels great.”
John Morris, who is skipping Jim Cotter’s B.C. rink, improved
his record to 3-1 with a 11-5 win over Winnipeg’s Jeff Stoughton.
Stoughton, who joined Howard and John Epping of Toronto
at 1-3, admitted his playoff hopes were on life support.
“We need a lot of help,” said the 2011 world champion. “We
had our fate in our own hands playing John. We had one rough
end where we gave up three.”
In the other evening game Winnipeg’s Mike McEwen
improved to 2-2 with a 10-7 win over Epping.
Howard, a two-time world champion, was left trying to
explain how he blew a three-point lead. He said the ice seemed
to get straighter later in the game and he had a rock fail to curl
in the ninth.
“We can’t lose anymore,” said the Tiny, Ont., resident. “And
there’s no guarantee if we win the next three that we are in (the
playoffs.)
“We out-curled Martin the entire game. I felt we deserved to
win but we didn’t. All we can do is regroup and try to win our
next three.”
On the women’s side, Heather Nedohin handed Val Sweeting
her first loss of the trials with a 6-5 defeat during an all-Edmon-

ton showdown in the afternoon draw. Winnipeg’s Jennifer Jones
rebounded from a messy loss Monday night to push Renee Sonnenberg to the brink of playoff elimination with a 7-2 victory.
Sweeting and Jones lead the women’s pack with 3-1 records.
After that there is a logjam with Stefanie Lawton of Saskatoon,
Chelsea Carey of Winnipeg, Nedohin, and Rachel Homan of
Ottawa all tied at 2-2.
Sonnenberg and Sherry Middaugh of Victoria Harbour, Ont.,
are 1-3, meaning their chances of attending the Sochi Olympics
are slim at best.
“It is the time of the week where the cream separates,” said
Sonnenberg of Grande Prairie, Alta. “Three losses is going to be
tough to make it in.
“We are going to try to win our last three. If things go our way,
and we somehow squeak into a tiebreaker, we’ll be thrilled.”
Homan, the defending Scotties Tournament of Hearts champion, needed an extra end to defeat Middaugh 6-5. The Ottawa
skip doubts she can offered another loss.
“We just have to keep winning from here on,” said Homan.
“Maybe by the end of the week three losses might get you in, but
I don’t want a maybe.”
The trials feature a round-robin competition with the firstplace teams advancing to the final. The second and third-place
teams meet in a semi-final.
The women’s winner will be determined Saturday. The men’s
winner will be crowned Sunday.
In the other afternoon game Lawton scored four points in the
eighth end to defeat Carey 7-5.
“We seem to be getting stronger and stronger every game,”
said Lawton, who lost her opening two games. “We are looking
forward to keeping it going.
“We were a little nervous to start. We’re just getting settled,
getting a good read on the ice, and getting comfortable out
there.”
Carey said one bad end broke open a close game.

“If you have one bad end early it’s not so bad,” she said. “If it’s end the second end it wouldn’t
have been a big deal. In the eighth, it’s a big deal.
“We don’t mind 2-2. You are right in the thick of it, right in the mix. That’s all we can ask for. We
control our own destiny. We just have to come out and win. Not a big deal.”
Nedohin, the 2012 Scotties champion, led Sweeting 5-2 after seven ends. Sweeting, a 26-yearold from Vegreville, Alta., battled back with two in the eighth, then a steal in the ninth to tie. That
forced Nedohin to make a last-rock draw for the victory.
“I expect all the games to be coming down to the last rock,” said Nedohin. “From here it’s an
uphill battle.
“If our team continues to play like we have been . . . we have a chance to be contenders at the
end of the week.”
Jones, the four-time Hearts champion, wanted to bounce back from Monday night’s loss to
Sweeting where she gave up a steal of four points in one end.
“We knew we’d have to regroup,” said Jones. “I really thought we did that today. We played well,
made a lot of big shots when we had to.”
During the morning draw Stoughton defeated Epping 4-3, Martin scored two in the 10th to
defeat Koe 6-5, Jacobs edged Howard 6-5 and McEwen beat Morris 7-5 to hand the Calgary firefighter his first loss.
Koe led Martin 4-1 after five ends. Martin battled back with a point in the seventh, then a steal
of two in the eighth. He won the game with a last-rock double takeout.
“It ended up working,” he said. “By a few inches.”
The three-time Olympian said the high-octane talent at the trials will help prepare the winner
for the Games.
“It’s no different’’ at the Olympics, he said. “It’s the same pressure, day after day. Whoever does
come out of this will be ready.”

The Sweeting things in curling life
Sometimes small
things offer a peek
into the bigger picture of a person’s personality.

It was a light-hearted
Jim
moment. Considering the 26-year-old
from Vegreville, Alta., was battling four-time world champion Jennifer Jones at the time it also reflected her poise under pressure.
“It was kind of a joke,” Sweeting said with a laugh. “I knew the
camera was on me. I didn’t think they would switch it and show that
to everybody in the country.
“It made for a fun moment. You have to stay loose out there.”
If Sweeting, 26, and her rink of third Joanne Courtney, 24, second
and vice-skip Dana Ferguson, 26, and lead Rachelle Pidherny, 27, are
feeling the pressure at this week’s Tim Hortons Roar Of The Rings
Canadian Curling Trials, they have a career in acting ahead of them.
Watch them on the ice and you’d think they were playing in a holiday fun bonspiel, not the playoffs to see who will represent Canada
at February’s Olympic Games in Sochi, Russia.
“That’s their personalities,” said Amber Holland, the 2011 Scotties
Tournament of Hearts champion who is serving as Sweeting’s fifth.
“Tense and curling doesn’t always work together. They are going
about their business. That’s the way they are approaching it.”
Courtney, already considered one of the best women sweepers in
the world, said the team hasn’t followed any complex equation in
reaching a 3-1 record.

“We are really just focusing on the process,” said the registered nurse. “If you are just playing the opposition rocks, curling isn’t an invasion sport. They can’t block our shots.
“If the shot is there to make, try to throw the right weight
at the broom and see what happens. It’s a pretty simple sport
made very complicated by complicated people.”
In a field full of big-name stars Sweeting’s rink was first considered part of the supporting cast. Like a bit character in a murder mystery movie, she was supposed to meet an early demise.
So far, that script has been rewritten.
The team from the Saville Community Sports Centre in
Edmonton suffered their first loss Tuesday. They battled back
from being down 5-2 to force Heather Nedohin to make a lastrock draw in a 6-5 defeat. Prior to that Sweeting had beaten
Jones, defending Hearts champion Rachel Homan and Stefanie
Lawton, the two- time provincial champion from Saskatchewan.
“It’s easier to play when there is less pressure on you,” said
Courtney. “We do believe in ourselves. We’ve been having a
pretty steady season.
“We’ve been building and working. By no means are we going
on the ice expecting to win against these world-class teams.”
Sweeting started her role as giant killer at the pre-trials in
Kitchener, Ont. She beat former world champion Kelly Scott of
Kelowna, B.C., to earn a ticket to Winnipeg. Along the way her
rink eliminated 2006 Olympic bronze medallist Shannon Kleibrink and 2010 silver medallist Cheryl Bernard.
When pundits were making their picks before the trials
Sweeting mainly flew under the radar.
No offence taken, said Courtney.
“I wouldn’t choose us either,” she shrugged. “People always
go with the favourites. It’s a fair thing to say we were under the
Who are YOU
copying/ printing for?
Val Sweeting
radar. If we went 0-7 no one would bat an eye.”
Brier champion Brad Jacobs said that’s not a bad place to be.
“When you are under the radar like that no one is expecting you to do well,” said Jacobs. “You have to come together as
a team and know your own abilities and be confident in that.
That’s what gets you through the week.
“There’s a fine line between being a little too relaxed and a
little too uptight. You need to block everything out. It’s a regular curling game. Go out there and focus as much as you can on
the next shot.”
Defending Olympic gold medallist Kevin Martin has watched
Sweeting’s team practise at the Saville Centre. He is amazed at
their conditioning.
“You can see how strong the sweepers are,” said Martin.
“They are in the gym all the time.”
Like all the teams in Winnipeg Sweeting’s rink has the ability
to make the tough shots. What is still developing is Sweeting’s
ability to call a game.
“They are making more shots than the other teams,” said
Martin.
“You can see they are really good. The chess game takes a
long time to learn. The mechanical part, they already have got.”
Sweeting grew up in Saskatchewan and played third for Hailey Surik’s team from Saskatoon at the 2007 Canadian Junior
Curling Championships. She moved to Alberta and formed her
own team. In 2010 she became the youngest skip to ever represent Alberta at the Scotties, where she finished with a 4-7
record.
Russ Howard, an Olympic gold medallist and TSN commentator, likes what Sweeting has shown so far.
“Val impresses me,” he said. “She throws great speed. She has
very good weight and a positive attitude.”
Howard even sees similarities between Sweeting’s team and
the Brad Gushue rink he played for that won the 2006 gold
medal.
“They are underdogs,” Howard said. “They are young. We
went in with no care in the world.
“As some point in time, if this keeps going, they might (realize
they) are one or two games away from the Olympics. It will be
tougher for them to handle it. It’s all attitude.”
Sweeting, who has a 20-month old baby, knows what has got
her this far at the trials. She believes her team has the skill and
mental toughness to get the job done.
“We think we are playing pretty well,” she said. “The record is
kind of a bonus.
“We are focusing on making our shoots we need to. It’s not
over until it’s over.”
We will be there from the
first rock to the final end for
today’s draws including

she had battled poor performances, illness,
injuries and even depression. Little Elizabeth
skated the performance of her life, leaving
nothing on the ice while Katarina skated not to
lose and Thomas was dreadful. Manley came

more ecstatic with her own performance and
her silver medal.”

OLYMPIC MEMORIES: Fondest Olympic
memory, Olympian both curling and NON,
and what it would mean to wear the ML at Socchi.
“I remember watching Team Bernard at
the Vancouver Olympics. They performed so
well throughout the week. Having competed
against Team Bernard several times, I was so
excited for them to be in the final game.
The most inspiring moment for me to watch
was the team’s reaction to their loss in the final
game. Carolyn Darbyshire hugged Cheryl after
her final shot and told her how proud she was
of her. So often sport is individualized on one
player’s performance but this was truly a team
moment that I will never forget.
The greatest Olympic moment was when
me and my family were watching Canada win
in overtime against USA in the gold medal
hockey game. The rivalry between the two
countries couldn’t have been scripted any better. The game was so close and it could have
gone either way. There were many proud
Canadian moments throughout the Vancouver Olympics but to end the games with a Gold
medal win was truly exhilarating.”

ALTERNATE: Lori Eddy
OLYMPIC MEMORIES: “I would say mine
would be getting up in the middle of the night
to watch Schmirler’s team in the semi final,
(Nagano 1997) when Sandra had a draw for
the win to go to the gold medal game. We were
screaming at the TV for it to stop as it looked a
little heavy. Was so excited for them when it
stopped in time (barely) and knew without a
doubt that they would win the gold medal
The other memory i just thought of would
be the Canadian female ice skater Joannie Rochette, who lost her Mom right before

Howard inducted into Sports Hall of Fame
JIM MORRIS
Morning Roar Staff
When Russ Howard was first told he was
being inducted into Canada’s Sports Hall of
Fame he thought he was dreaming. Literally.
Howard was in Riga, Latvia, working on TSN’s
broadcast of the world women’s curling championships, when his telephone rang at 4 a.m.,
telling him the news.
“What a shook more than anything,” Howard
said during a break Tuesday at the Tim Hortons
Roar Of The Rings Canadian Curling Trials. “It
felt like a dream.”
Being admitted into the Sports Hall of Fame
is an honour in itself. Howard was even more
impressed when he learned his fellow inductees included Joe Sakic, the former NHL star
and Canadian Olympian; Olympic cyclist Alison Sydor; Andre Viger, a five-time Paralympian wheelchair racer; the 1992 Olympic women’s gold-medal-winning rowing team; Murray
Costello, the former president of Hockey Canada; and sports administrator Dr. Jean-Guy
Ouellet.
“I knew I was a decent curler,” said Howard,
57. “I’m old school. You look back and think ‘am
I an athlete like Wayne Gretzky?’ I don’t think
so.
“In my case I think they added the broadcast-
ing and the rule change. I
kind of had more than the
shoot-making. It’s really
humbling.”
Brad Gushue, skip of the
2006 Olympic gold medal
winning rink that Howard was a member of, said
the induction was well
Russ Howard
deserved.
“Russ has done a lot for the game,” said
Gushue, who is an alternate for Kevin Martin’s
rink this week. “Just the curling aside, with the
commentary, with developing the free-guard
zone.
“Anywhere you go people know Russ Howard. Curling fan or no curling fan, they know the
yell. What he’s done for curling is incredible.”
Born and raised in Midland, Ont., Howard appeared in 14 Briers. Along with younger
brother Glenn he won the Brier and world
championship in 1987 and 1993. In 2001 he
began working for TSN as a curling commentator.
In 2005 Gushue asked Howard to join his
team prior to the Canadian Curling Trials in Halifax. Howard threw second rocks and called the
game. At 50 he became the oldest gold-medal
winner in Canadian Olympic History.
Looking back, Howard said his 1987 world
championship was a highlight.
“The first world championship with my
brother is really special because it was the first,”
he said.
“I remember I had a pretty easy shot to win.
I actually winked at my brother. I was young
enough to be cocky back then. It’s a real cool
feeling to watch the rock slide down and Glenn
is holding the broom.”
The gold medal in 2006 was also an unforgettable and unexpected experience.
“I didn’t even know until about five days
before the trials I was even curling,” he said.
“Then to win a gold medal.
“The Olympics is so different than a Brier.
There was 70 million people who watched our
game. I had NBC phoning, they wanted to know
what my favourite food and favourite movie was.
The attention was just nuts.”
One of Howard’s legacies is his creation of the
Moncton Rule, which restricted the removal of
lead rocks, and eventually evolved into the current free-guard zone.
Howard said the idea came to him because
he and Glenn used to play games against each
other while practicing. Not being allowed to
remove the lead stones made the pair work on
their finesse shots.
“It was really three-dimensional curling,” he
said. “The method in my madness was to cre-
ate tougher shoots to make us sharper. I really
believed it helped our careers.”
Glenn Howard said he was proud of his brother’s accomplishments both on and off the ice.
“He’s arguably one of the best curlers who
ever played the game,” said Glenn.
“He puts all his emotions on his sleeve.
Intense is a big word with him. Everything he
tries to do, he tries to do to the best of ability. He
gives it 150 per cent every shoot he plays. That’s
what made him so good.”
Russ Howard is the 14th curler named to the
Sports Hall of Fame, and the first since Sandra
Schmirler’s team was inducted in 2000.
Other curlers in the hall include Don Duguid
(1991), Howard (Pappy) Wood (1977), Matt
Baldwin (1973), Ron Northcott (1970), Ken
Watson (1969), and the Ernie Richardson team
(Arnold Richardson, Sam Richardson, Wes
Richardson) in 1968.
While honoured by his inclusion, Howard
believes more curlers deserve a spot in the Hall
of Fame.
“We’ve had a bad rap that we’re not athletes,”
said Howard. “Look at these guys out there now.
Everyone is in super shape. They are working
hard at it. That’s what I’m kind of excited about.
“An old fat guy got into the Sports Hall of
Fame. It should change some people’s opinions.”

The Party
Rocks On
There’s only one direction when it comes to the fun
following draws at the MTS Centre – that’s south on the
enclosed walkway to the RBC Convention Centre, home to the
Patch.
And a host of fans took the trip Tuesday night to see the
No Direction Band on stage at championship curling’s party
central.
Self-described as Winnipeg’s oldest, hairiest boy band,
the group pumped out some of the biggest hits of all time…
covering every conceivable contemporary music genre.
From pop, punk and rock right through to country and
metal, No Direction kept the fans on the dance floor all night
long!

1
solutions and agricultural products that improve farm productivity
and food quality. Monsanto remains focused on enabling both smallholder and large-scale farmers to produce more from their land

and energy.

In the hands of farmers, better seeds can help meet the needs of
our rapidly growing population, while protecting the earth’s natural
resources. So people have the food, clothing and fuel they need
today, and our world has the land, water and energy it needs for
tomorrow.
That’s improving agriculture. That’s improving lives. And that’s what
Monsanto is all about.

Olympic Trial Flashback • 2001
Martin, Law tops at Regina event
MORNING ROAR STAFF
(Fourth of a series)
Kevin Martin of Edmonton and Kelley Law of New Westminster emerged triumphant from the 2001 Canadian Olympic trials played at Regina’s Brandt Centre (nee Agridome).
Martin, who’d represented Canada at the 1992 Winter Olympics at Pralognan, France, directed Don Walchuk, Carter
Rycroft and Don Bartlett to six straight wins after splitting his
first four round-robin assignments.
Conquerors of the eventual Olympians were Bert Gretzinger
of Kelowna (9-4 in Round Two) and Jeff Stoughton of Winnipeg (8-3 in Round Four).
Thereafter, Martin peeled off five round-robin wins and
advanced directly to the final with a 7-2 record.
Kerry Burtnyk of Winnipeg and Gretzinger finished at 6-3
and Burtnyk won the semi-final argument 8-6.
In the final, Burtnyk led 3-2 after five but Martin took control
with three in the sixth end and parlayed the lead into an 8-7,
last-rock decision.
Stoughton finished with a 5-4 record, along with Russ Howard of Moncton, Randy Ferbey of Edmonton and John Morris
of Kitchener-Waterloo.
Sharing 2-7 logs were Wayne Middaugh of Toronto, Kevin
Park of Edmonton and Greg McAulay of Richmond, B.C.

Canada’s reps fall short in medal play in Salt Lake
CONTINUED FROM 17
On the women’s side, Law and her team of
Julie Skinner, Georgina Wheatcroft and Diane
Nelson (Dezura) led the round-robin field with
a 7-2 record. The West Coasters were beaten
by Sherry Anderson of Saskatoon (6-5 in
Round Four) and Amber Holland of Regina
(9-7 in Round Six).
Anderson and Colleen Jones of Halifax finished at 6-3, squared off in the semi-final and
Anderson prevailed 9-5.
Law trailed the final 2-1 after four ends,
then Anderson went cold and yielded a
deuce, single and deuce over the next three
ends. Law wound up on top by a 7-3 count.
Sharing 5-4 records were Sherry Middaugh
of Coldwater and Michelle Englot (Ridgway)
of Regina. Cathy King of Edmonton, Heather
Rankin (Fowlie) of Calgary and Holland
were 4-5, while Marie-France Larouche of
St-Romuald, QC, and Sherry Fraser of Richmond, BC, finished 2-7.
At the Salt Lake City Olympics, staged in
nearby Ogden, Canada’s Martin settled for a
silver medal while Law won bronze.
Both Canadian teams dominated their
respective round-robin segments with
8-and-1 records.
Martin won four in a row, dropped a 6-5
decision to Peja Lindholm of Sweden, then
won four more. Law swept the table until the
final round during when she was nicked 7-6
by Luzia Ednother of Switzerland.
Playoff games unseated the Canucks.
Martin avenged his earlier loss to Lindholm in the semi-final, 6-4. But, in the final,
after controlling the match for nine ends, the
Edmonton skip was inches off on a last-rock
out-turn to the button, rubbed slightly on the
counter Pal Trulsen of Norway had deposited
with the other turn, and left Norway with a
6-5 gold-medal victory.
Trulsen also stole the semi-final, with
thievery on the 10th and extra ends in a 7-6
win over Andy Schwaller of Switzerland.
Schwaller beat Lindholm 7-3 in the battle
for bronze.
Trulsen finished the round robin with a
7-2 record, Schwaller and Lindholm were
6-3, Markku Uusipaavalniemi of Finland was
5-4, Sebastian Stock of Germany was 4-5,
Tim Somerville of the U.S., Hammy McMillan of Great Britain and Ulrik Schmidt of Denmark each were 3-6 and Dom Dupont-Roc of
France was 0-9.
Great Britain’s Rhona Martin of Scotland
proved the upsetter in the women’s race. Her
team finished the round robin at 5-4, tied with
Natalie Nessler of Germany and Elisabet Gustafson of Sweden, three games behind Canada.
But, in playoffs, Martin ousted Gustafson
6-4, then Nessler 7-5, then Canada 6-5 in the
semi-final by stealing control of the game
with a third-end deuce.
In the gold-silver skirmish, Martin posted a
deuce in the fifth and stole a single in the sev-
enth that proved the difference in a 7-4 win
over the Swiss.
Ebnother was 7-2 in the preliminary while
Kari Erickson of the U.S. was 6-3. Ebnother
dropped Erickson 9-4 in the semi-final and
the Law team won the bronze with a 9-5 win
over the Yanks.
Boasting sub-.500 records were Dordi
Nordby of Norway (4-5), Akiko Katoh of Japan
(2-7), Lene Bidstrup of Denmark (2-7) and
Olga Jarkova of Russia (1-8).

Who else will be going to Sochi ?
MORNING ROAR STAFF
All right, so who is going to compete at the Ice Cube in Sochi,
anyway?
Well, to begin with, the top-ranked seven curling nations of
each gender get in, plus host teams from Russia.
But, for the first time, Canada’s Olympic standard-bearers
won’t be the last of the 10 teams of each gender to be decided.
That’s because the World Curling Federation has added a new
wrinkle to proceedings this year — an Olympic Qualification
Event open to all nations having accumulated qualifying points
but not sufficient to rate top-seven, or having qualified for one
WCC over the last three seasons.
The OQE goes next week (Dec. 11-15) in the BLZ Arena at Fussen, Germany. And the final two men’s and two women’s Sochi
berths will be awarded at this event.
On the women’s side, Sweden (Margaretha Sigfridsson), Switzerland (Mirjam Ott), Scotland (Eve Muirhead - points are allocated to Great Britain for Olympic purposes), Canada, the U.S.A.
(Erika Brown), Denmark (Lene Nielsen), Korea (Ji-Sun Kim) and
Russia (Anna Sidorova - as hosts) qualified directly for the 2014
Games.
Eligible for the Fussen scramble are teams from Germany,
Japan, China, Italy, Latvia, the Czech Republic and Norway. Former world champions Andrea Schoepp (twice) and Bingyu Wang
will be embroiled in that scuffle.
On the men’s side, Canada, Sweden (Niklas Edin), Scotland
(David Murdoch - points are allocated to Great Britain for Olympic purposes), Norway (Thomas Ulsrud), Switzerland (Sven
Michel), China (Rui Liu), Denmark (Rasmus Stjerne) and Russia
(Andrey Drozdov-as hosts) are quallfied.
That leaves teams from the U.S. (John Shuster of Duluth), New
Zealand (Peter de Boer), the Czech Republic (Jiri Snitil), Finland,
Japan, Korea, France and Germany eligible to contest the final
two berths at the men’s qualification event in Fussen.

lives
In the hands of farmers, better seeds can help meet the needs of our rapidly growing population, while protecting the
earth’s natural resources. So people have the food, clothing and fuel they need today, and our world has the land, water and
energy it needs for tomorrow.
That’s improving agriculture. That’s improving lives. And that’s what Monsanto is all about.
