Kansas Soybean Commission
Top Things for Farmers to Know About Checkoff Dollars Invested in Research
Each fiscal year, the Kansas Soybean Commissioners consider the state’s soybean production systems, statewide weather outlook, soybean markets and pricing, and short- and long-term research priorities. They then meticulously review, fund, track, and communicate research projects that will bring the most value to Kansas farmers. Project investments provide meaningful information about minimizing production risk and maximizing soybean potential.
- Agronomic best practices for profitable soybean production, integrated weed control and pest management, water utilization, and soil health
- Soybean variety and germplasm development
- Soybean crop enhancement through genetic engineering and yield studies
- Basic and applied studies to better understand how soybeans interact with and outcompete production challenges, abiotic and biotic stressors
- Basic and applied studies to enhance soybeans and soybean products for current and new uses and markets
- Development of Population-Based Tactics to Manage Key Kansas Insect Pests
