Brief Project Summary:

Soybean producer Kip Cullers in Southwest Missouri has reported yields of 139 (2006), 155 (2007), and 160 bushel/acre (2010), and these yields are substantially greater than any other reported maximum yields. For the past 3 years, we have made measurements in Mr. Cullers' contest field with the intent of documenting crop growth characteristics that would result in these yields. While these observations have provided some hints of unique features of Mr. Cullers' crop, more detailed and more frequent measurements are required. This project involves hiring a PhD student to characterize fully Mr. Cullers' production system. This research will provide unbiased documentation of Mr. Cullers' yield,...

Final Project Results

The United Soybean Research Retention policy will display final reports with the project once completed but working files will be purged after three years. And financial information after seven years. All pertinent information is in the final report or if you want more information, please contact the project lead at your state soybean organization or principal investigator listed on the project.
