Each year, around 200 commercial soybean varieties in Michigan Soybean Performance Trials and hundreds of soybean breeding lines are evaluated in field trials at nine locations throughout major soybean production areas in Michigan.

Every year during the planting and harvesting seasons, the two field technicians had to plant or harvest every non-rainy-day including weekends and had to work till late in the evenings to try to get the work done on time. When there are too few non-rainy days during planting and harvesting seasons such as in 2019, it is very critical to have two field technicians...
