A multi-year Illinois Soybean Association project led by Dr. Andrew Margenot is benchmarking tillage and cover crops effects for soil health and water quality. Results will inform farmers of tradeoffs among soil health, carbon credits, and water quality.

Kris Reynolds from American Farmland Trust shares information on various conservation funding opportunities available to farmers, including IRA funding, Partners for Conservation, and Partnerships for Climate Smart Commodities.

In this webinar, Dr. Andrew Margenot will provide an introduction to climate-smart agriculture and agricultural commodities, how soybeans fit into this paradigm, and considerations for Illinois soybean producers in navigating climate-smart commodity markets.

Dr. Stacy Zuber presents on the topic of soil health during Illinois Soybean Association's Better Beans event in Bloomington, IL.

In January, farmers in the Midwest and Mid-South have two valuable opportunities through the One Good Idea platform to enhance soil health, improve water quality, and safeguard profitability.
