Brief Project Summary:
This project supports Soybean Research Forum and Think Tank. The purpose of the event is to bring all aspects of the soybean industry together to collaborate and identify the biggest research challenges that need to be addressed in the next 10 to 20 years. Once these challenges are identified, a plan is developed to address them with the whole industry participating in funding and executing the research. This collaborative approach will provide non-redundant, cost-efficient research of value to the soybean industry.

Project Summary

The first two Soybean Research Forum and Think Tanks took place in 2021 and with over 90 farmers, researchers, industry and soybean staff participating. For 2023, the plan is to hold the third forum the week of July 24, 2023. The purpose of the event is to bring all aspects of the soybean industry together to collaborate and identify the biggest research challenges that need to be addressed in the next 10-20 years. Once these challenges are identified, then a plan is developed to address them with the whole industry participating in funding and executing the research. This collaborative approach will provide non-redundant, cost efficient research of value to the soybean industry. Funding of this project will provide support for execution of the event itself and travel expenses for attendees representing the soybean industry in Ohio.
