The concept of using precision agriculture technologies on Michigan Soybean producer farms is not a new concept. However, the use of research on a field scale basis while incorporating these technologies that result in field variability recommendations is an emerging concept. Many growers have the technologies of variable rate technology, GPS receivers, yield monitors, field grid systems, either through grid sample or Veris machine readings, aerial imaging, etc. to allow zone management within fields. This is often referred to as spatial management within a single field. With increasing frequency, soybean producers who have the proper technologies are asking for agronomic recommendations...
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.
