Item 2. -- Acquisition or Disposition of Assets


On April 19, 1995, BioTechnica International, Inc. ("BTI") announced that its
LG Seeds, Inc. operating subsidiary had consummated the sale of the assets of
its Scott Seed Division ("Scott") of New Albany, Indiana, to AgriBioTech, Inc.
of Las Vegas, Nevada, for an aggregate net purchase price of approximately
$1,950,000, payable in cash, 158,000 shares of AgriBioTech stock with a
guaranteed value of $3.00 per share, and assumption of the accounts payable
of the division.

A Pro forma financial statement showing the effect of the sale of Scott on the
most recent Form 10-Q for the six-month period ended December 31, 1994 is
contained in Item 7.  The accompanying pro forma statement of operations
reflects BTI as though the transaction took place as of July 1, 1994;
accordingly, sales, cost of sales, and operating expenses for Scott have been
eliminated.  Interest expense has been adjusted for the sale of Scott and
borrowings and interest have been reduced accordingly.  The accompanying
Pro Forma Balance Sheet reflects BTI as though the transaction took place
as of December 31, 1994; accordingly, the appropriate line items have been
adjusted removing all assets and liabilities of Scott.

                                    Financial Statements

1.  The Pro Forma Financial statements in Exhibits 1 and 2 above were produced
by taking the December 31, 1994 statements from the Second Quarter Form 10Q
and removing the Scott Seed division balances included in those line items.
( See Scott Adjustments Column) The only exceptions to this methodology were
the reduction in the Line of Credit of $863,000, based on the net proceeds
which would have been received had the transaction taken place at
December 31, 1994, and the resulting decrease in interest expense of $35,000,
which was calculated assuming the $863,000 reduction in the Line of Credit for
a six month period at BTI's cost of borrowing on its Line of Credit with
Harris Bank and Trust of Chicago.
