Residents will vote for non-profits competing for grants of up to $15,000
It may not be instant stardom but Gail Wuellner is proud of it all the same. “There are going to be some billboards also,” said the St. Charles resident. “They’ve been switching those out.

Titled St. Louis Grown, the initiative aims to boost both the city and its spirit of volunteerism by awarding grants of as much as $15,000 to area schools and non-profits.

The Creve Coeur-based agriculture firm says it is cooperating with probe into payments to Roundup, Herbicide customers.
On the same day Creve Coeur-based Monsanto released a successful quarterly report, the agri-business giant also announced it was cooperating with an inquiry from the Securities and Exchange Commission.
