Soybeans are a pivotal part of the Wisconsin agricultural landscape. In Wisconsin PODtalk, soybean farmers talk about how the soybean checkoff works to fund research, promotion, and sustainability of this row crop. Each episode features a different Wisconsin farmer discussing what they are seeing on their farm and how they leverage the checkoff efforts on their operations.

2024 Agenda For Soybean Research Dollars - Pat Mullooly

Pam Jahnke sits down with Dr. Shawn Conley, UW-Extension Soybean Specialist to discuss his Wisconsin soybean harvest observations so far.  Conley says he's pretty confident the state's overall yields will be down compared to a year ago, and cautions operators to be careful with settings on combines to make sure they're getting every bean they've grown.

Conley also says the dry weather conditions the state's dealing with could mean an elevated Soybean Cyst Nematode (SCN) population going forward.  He says research shows in times of moisture stress, the nematode will actually produce more eggs that can be harbored in the soil until the next soybean crop shows up. Fortunately, the Wisconsin Soybean Marketing Board will pay for up to four SCN test samples, per grower, to try and get those numbers now.

Conley also noted that despite reduced yields, the annual Wisconsin Soybean Yield Contest has received over 100 entries for this year's contest.  Winners will be recognized during the 2025 Wisconsin Corn Soy Expo in Wisconsin Dells.

WI Soybean Harvest Update And Research To Help - Dr. Shawn Conley

From cover crops to seed selection.  Dr. Shawn Conley, UW-Extension Soybean Specialist has a full plate of research projects he, and his graduate students, are focused on for the 2024 growing season.

Conley tells Pam Jahnke that through Wisconsin soybean checkoff investments, they'll be focused on better understanding what cover crops can mean for growers.  Yes, it will help mitigate weeds - but what does it do in a drought year?  Conley's also focusing on the buzz surrounding carbon credits and what it could mean for enhanced revenue.  All of it, focused on profitability.

Conley expresses his appreciation in the "give and take" conversations he has with growers.  Their straightforward discussion about research projects that matter to them and their farming operation not only resonates with Conley, but also forms his thesis on where projects need to go.

Field Projects For 2024 - Dr. Shawn Conley

Adam Kask is the executive director of the Wisconsin Soybean Marketing Board.  His role is to oversee spending of Wisconsin soybean checkoff dollars, and make sure they're channeled to investments that will pay dividends to growers.

Pam Jahnke sits down to talk with Kask about his background, and what he finds exciting about the Wisconsin soybean story and where beans are being used.  A few highlights include the recent addition of Wisconsin to the Northern Soybean Marketing Association.  Leveraging Wisconsin soybean investments is what Kask is all about.

You'll also learn about soybeans being used as ingredients for building materials, as well as an innovative new development using soybeans as a part of a formula for fire fighting foam!
