This month, Bayer announced that it had signed a shareholders’ agreement with Bunge (NYSE: BG) and Chevron U.S.A. Inc. (Chevron), a subsidiary of Chevron Corporation (NYSE: CVX), in connection with Bayer’s acquisition of a 65% majority ownership of the winter oilseed producer CoverCress, Inc. (CCI). The remaining 35% of CCI will continue ownership under Bunge and Chevron.
