Monsanto Completes Expansion Of La. Facility

CEO and Chairman Hugh Grant welcomed guests to the company's Roundup agricultural herbicide production facility in Luling, La., to celebrate the completion of a nearly $200 million expansion just outside of New Orleans.

The expansion was announced and started in April 2008 to increase production of the company's Roundup brand agricultural herbicide.

Roundup is one of the world's leading crop protection products. The improvements at the facility include: major infrastructure reliability projects such as a new air compressor, new rail lines, a new river dock, increased container and tank storage capacity and road improvements. Energy and emission reduction projects include hydrogen recovery and replacing two older boilers with one larger one.
