This project verifies University of Arkansas, Division of Agriculture recommendation for soybean production and maintains an economic database of production practices on a large-scale field basis. Soybean yields in Arkansas continue to increase, but yields can increase more as farmers adopt and implement new technology. This program allows soybean producers to observe University of Arkansas-recommended production practices being implemented on typical producer fields across the state. It also demonstrates the profitability of recommended production systems in “real world” high-yield irrigated and variable non-irrigated environments, offering an opportunity to enhance cooperating producers’ and county extension agents’ marketing expertise.

Key Benefactors:
farmers, agronomists, extension agents
