Monsanto ups $2.5 billion debt issue interest rate Friday June 4, 6:56 pm Eastern Time ST. LOUIS, Mo, June 4 (Reuters) - Monsanto Co. (NYSE:MTC - news) said Friday it will increase by 25 basis points the interest rate on $2.5 billion of senior unsecured debt issued in a private placement last year following a registration delay.
