Growing the On-Farm Trial Network
Learn about Illinois Soybean Association's new effort to develop an on-farm trial network that will address agronomic issues farmers are seeking more information on. In this video, learn more about how to get involved and the topics the on-farm trial network will aim to address.
Achieving High Yield Soybeans While Protecting the Soil
At the recent Soybean Summit, Chris Weaver, a farmer and agronomist from Maryland, discussed his experience in enhancing soybean yields while protecting the soil. With his success of reaching 158 bu/ac on non-irrigated land, his goal is to grow 200+ bushels of no-till, non-irrigated soybeans. Listen here for his full presentation.
High Speed Planting for Soybeans
There are advantages and challenges to high speed planting in soybean and corn rotations. Dr. Mike Mulvaney explains more in this Science for Success video.
Early Soybean Planting – Benefits and Risks
There are some yield advantages to planting early as well as some risks. Where does this yield advantage come from and how can we best manage the risks of planting early? Dr. Shawn Conley, University of Wisconsin-Madison answers these questions for you.
Too Hot, Too Cold, Too Dry, Too Wet, Too Smokey, Too Sunny: How Does Stress Affect Soybeans?
In this Better Beans presentation, Dr. Seth Naeve shares actionable steps for boosting soybean yields. He explores the physiology of yield accrual, the impact of water stress on soybeans, the influence of smoke from wildfires, and sheds light on the crucial growth period for soybean yield.
