  • With waterhemp topping Illinois farmers' list of concerns, researchers are looking beyond herbicides for solutions. Partner with us in the ISA On-Farm Trial Network to learn how cereal rye and winter barley are being tested in real farm fields to determine whether cover crops can reduce weed pressure and improve soybean production.

  • Public soybean breeding programs are helping drive innovation, genetic diversity, and farmer profitability, and the U.S. Soybean Genetics Collaborative is working to ensure these critical resources remain accessible for the future.

    As public-bred soybean varieties account for less than 10% of U.S. soybean acreage, the U.S. Soybean Genetics Collaborative (USSGC) is leading efforts to revitalize public breeding programs and strengthen the future of soybean production. These programs provide a vital source of genetic diversity to help farmers address emerging pests, changing environmental conditions, and growing market opportunities, including non-GM soybeans. Through collaboration with farmer leaders, public universities, and Qualified State Soybean Boards, the USSGC is advancing research, improving the path from innovation to market, and developing resources such as the 2027 Seed Guide to help farmers identify high-performing public soybean varieties.
