As part of our 75th birthday, we look back at interesting editorial stories during each decade (see 1940s, 1950s, 1960s, 1970s, 1980s and 1990s here: http://cornandsoybeandigest.com/csd-75).

For fun, we’re also taking a look at the some of the advertising during each decade, since these valuable companies provide the revenue that helps us send you a free magazine.

Check out these advertisements that we found when examining back issues from January through December 2005. Check out these familiar company and brand names like Valent, Precision Planting, Option, Optimize, Mustang Max, Bayer CropScience, Nitragin, FMC, White, Laredo, Trimble, Massey-Ferguson, Dow AgroSciences, Prowl H2O, USB, BASF, Stratego, Folicur, Kinze, YieldGard Plus, Agrisure, Monsanto, Syngenta, Case IH, Ag-Chem, Mycogen and more.

And look at more ads in Part I in case you missed it.
