Participants will learn how various management practices, products and equipment impacted soybean yields and income in 2013. The top 10 factors that appear to affect soybean yields in eight years of the Michigan soybean yield contest will also be presented. Tim Boring, research director for the Michigan Soybean Checkoff, will discuss the future direction for soybean research in Michigan. Time has been allocated for input and questions from participants and open discussion regarding the information presented at the program. This program has been approved for one pesticide applicator recertification credit.
