Brief Project Summary:

VIPS was designed as a tool to help producers make the transition to soybean marketing based on seed quality attributes. This transition can provide an opportunity for progressive farmers to capture greater value from their soybeans. To do so, however, producers need reliable information about their capacity to produce and deliver seed components of known value to processors. VIPS is a unique source of reliable, unbiased, and accessible information on soybean varieties tested in the University of Illinois Soybean Variety Testing Program. VIPS includes Illinois variety trial data for eight years.

This screening program includes four projects involved with screening soybean varieties...
