Brief Project Summary:

When comparing Michigan crop yields for wheat, corn and soybeans for a ten year period (1990-1994 vs. 2000-2004), wheat increased 17.4 bu/acre (35.1%), corn 9.4 bu/acre (8.4%) and soybean -3.2 bu/acre (-8.7%). The declining soybean yield appears to be unique to Michigan as nationally an increase of 6.8% has occurred for the same time frame. The Soybean 2010 project was created to determine any yield limiting factors for Michigan. The research, education and demonstration addressed in this project are designed to help growers overcome any identified barrier.

The project was initiated in 2008 to obtain practical information on soybean production options that impact the state's soybean...

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.
