On-Farm Network Strives to Answer the Why Behind Yield Results
A more in-depth look into the factors contributing to yield response.
What Challenges Will Producers Face This Upcoming Spring?
There are five important factors that producers will need to consider on a field by field basis as they plan their spring: weather, equipment, soil test levels, residue and unique field characteristics.
Thinking Spring Inputs: Setting soybeans up for success
Spring input decision-making can be stressful. Decisions about soybean seeding rate, inoculant and seed treatment can all affect yield, and certainly your bottom line. MPSG production knowledge and On-Farm Network (OFN) research offer information to help guide these decisions.
