The data generated from this project will be made available according to USB guidelines and should contribute to refining existing soybean crop-growth models. Information obtained from this uniform regional study will be reported annually to Extension soybean specialists, participating scientists, the MSSB, the USB, and participating QSSBs. At the conclusion of the study the entire results will be compiled, analyzed, summarized, and extended to producers, consultants and agri-businesses via a MSSB/USB publication similar to the Early Soybean Production System Handbook.
