• Response of post application with additives
• Whole bean vs. by-products in animal feed
• High yielding soybeans – varieties, production methods
• Plant genetics/physiology
• Overcoming yield plateau
• Field information and technical support – information distribution
• Economics of weed control – thresholds, cost impact
• Economic responses for varying planting dates
• Soybean rust, sentinel plots
• Soybean aphid
• Wildlife – spray-on additives/control
• Roundup resistant weeds
• Fungicide use on soybeans
• Stink bugs
• Container export shipping to foreign markets that may need non-GMO, high protein, etc.
