Project Deliverables

Field Days for showcasing research plots, variety and breeding work have become an integral part of soybean outreach in northwest Minnesota. As a component of this proposal, educational activities conducted in cooperation with the county associations is included in order to build on recent program successes. Among the 2 breeding program
locations and multiple county variety trials locations, it is proposed that five (5) educational events be organized to highlight research activities to be held as appropriate in July to late August.
