One of Our Biggest Success Stories as a Result of Research

Minnesota went from growing soybeans as a forage crop in the southern quarter of the state to growing soybeans as a commodity in more than 67 counties all the way to the Canadian border. That growth is a direct result of the support provided to the University of Minnesota soybean breeding program, developing varieties for the entire region. New breeding project focus is for disease and insect resistance, oil composition, and food grade soybean varieties.
