March&nbsp;5, 2008 &#150; American Vanguard Corporation (NYSE: AVD) today announced that it has acquired an established production facility in Marsing, Idaho from Bayer CropScience LP. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT
FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">This self-contained production facility has the capability to formulate and package a number of active ingredients into finished &#147;flowable&#148; products that are used in a wide variety of crop protection
applications. Formerly owned by Gustafson and Crompton Corporation, this operation has a lengthy history of manufacturing many important ingredients that are employed in various seed treatment formulations. </FONT></P> <P
STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Eric Wintemute, President&nbsp;&amp; CEO of American Vanguard commented, &#147;This production capability will allow AMVAC to expand the range of its offering to
customers interested in &#147;on-seed&#148; coating protection. When combined with our extensive line of soil treatment and plant protection products, our customers will now be able to choose from a wider portfolio of pest defense measures,
manufactured in AMVAC&#146;s highly reliable, domestic production facilities.&#148; </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The purchase agreement calls for American Vanguard to supply Bayer
CropScience for several years with some of the Bayer products currently formulated at the site, facilitating both a seamless transfer of the site&#146;s operations to American Vanguard and the transition of that production by Bayer to its own
operations. Other specific terms of the transaction were not disclosed. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Mr.&nbsp;Wintemute concluded, &#147;This acquisition further strengthens our
recent emphasis on establishing a broad-based, high-quality domestic manufacturing capability to serve the needs of growers in every region of the North American market. With our Metam Sodium&nbsp;&amp; Potassium expansion in Axis, Alabama to serve
the Southeast U.S., and our Hannibal, Missouri facility to serve the central &#147;grain belt&#148;, we now add a well-positioned location to facilitate the demands of the Northwestern U.S. and Western Canadian markets.&#148; </FONT></P> <P
