There's no question.  Margins are tight for Wisconsin soybean growers.  Andy Bensend from Dallas, WI is one of those looking at those margins.  He also sits on the WI Soybean Marketing Board where decisions are made on how to invest hard earned farmer dollars.

Bensend says the investments made by the WI Soybean Marketing Board are calculated, researched and designed for a return on investment.  Even if that return will take some time to develop.  Bensend notes that they're challenged from a number of fronts.  Growing conditions in Wisconsin.  How can they be managed for maximum output?  Developing markets both here and abroad.  What is the world looking for?  Of course education connects all those lines.  Making growers aware of the research findings and how it can help them is a must to keep moving forward.
