The Illinois Soybean Association Agronomy team spent the whole three days at Farm Progress Show in our newly developed soybean plots discussing agronomic and research topics such as soil health, soybean cyst nematode, weed identification, and pest management. A cover crop plot was also exhibited with over 15 species being demonstrated from clover to winter pea. A lot of effort and behind-the-scenes work went into the plots, and we want to thank Richland Community College and Farm Progress for allowing us to develop this site. In the off years of FPS, we will host a field day for farmers and agronomists.

If you didn’t make it to the plots in Decatur, or if you’re curious about our team’s initiatives and programming, watch the video and spend a day with us at Farm Progress Show!
