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.
