Watch E I Du Pont De Nemours And Co (DD) Make Hay Down on the Farm

1). I’m a management freak. And having watched Kullman function as DuPont’s CEO since 2009, I’ve become impressed by her ability to point the company in new directions when and where appropriate. That’s high praise, given that her predecessor, Charles “Chad” Holiday, is a University of Tennessee alumnus. Kullman is backstopped by a solid team of senior executives.

2). The steady movement toward a dominance by agricultural endeavors smacks of all sorts of wisdom. The vast number of developing countries — along with climatic challenges — are resulting in steadily increasing demand for the specialized seeds and other products produced by DuPont.

A sound corporate conclusion

With all this in mind, I’m hard-pressed to take issue with Kullman’s contention during the call that: “While we have capable competitors in individual scientific disciplines, DuPont’s breadth of science is uniquely relevant to where customer demand is heading now in many markets. Simply stated, we are advantaged like no other company to deliver value to our customers and shareholders.”
