The project will create a structure where locally led production and management questions are identified and tested. This project includes six major objectives for increasing soybean yield mainly through management. Objectives include: conducting targeted research to assess soybean seeding rates, planting dates, plant spacing and seed treatments; conducting on-farm testing of variable rate and of varieties of soybean seeding studies; examining corn stalk harvesting impacts on soil potassium levels and soybean yields; studying cover crops to optimize soybean yields; developing high yield soybean plots and formation of an on-farm network; expanding outreach through field tours, Soy100, winter meetings, a website highlighting on-farm network results, and reviewing the iGrow Soybeans.Key Benefactors: farmers, agronomists, extension specialists
