Brief Project Summary:

Domestic and international markets evaluate soybeans based on their composition. The protein level of Wisconsin-grown soybeans ranks among the lowest in the nation. The quality disadvantage lowers the competitiveness of northern soybeans in general and Wisconsin-grown soybeans in particular. This project supports an in-state effort to raise the awareness of soybean quality. The overall goal of the project is to promote activities that can help raise the average protein level for Wisconsin soybeans to the 35% target set by USB.
