Soybean Research and Information Network
“The idea is that it will be a site that researchers can log into and view white papers from previous research to gain useful information to benefit their current and potentially new research efforts.” – David Clark, Ohio Soybean Council
Farm Science Review Opportunities
Farm Science Review will be held September 21st – 23rd with lots of excitement in store for farmers young and old.
All things working together.
We worked with farmers to implement practices and design a plan to reduce nutrient load in local streams.
Improving Photosynthetic Potential
Photosynthesis does not occur at a constant rate, it varies each second, depending on light, carbon dioxide (CO2), water availability, temperature, leaf chlorophyll content, microbial impact on plant nutrient availability, and genetics.
Overwintering Cover Crops & Small Grains
Adding overwintering cover crops and small grains also increases crop and soil diversity to improve soil health.
Cover Crop Mixes, the more species the better
“My advice to anyone interested in growing cover crops is to take them seriously and plant them with the same attention that you would your corn or soybeans.” – Matt Burkholder, Farmer Advocate for Conservation, Allen County
Management is key to a successful conservation farming operation
The more enterprises the farm has, the more important the management becomes.
