Achieving the KPIs
• More than six research team workshops were conducted that resulted in changes in project protocols that produced more efficient research
• Three QSSB research planning sessions were supported that resulted in new coordinated research efforts
• Laura Foell, Meal AT Chair, presented the keynote address at the summer annual meeting of the CS-CAP Corn Systems meeting in Iowa to discuss corn soybean system sustainability
Not achieving the KPIx
• Meetings were held with QSSBs at three different venues in an attempt to develop a format for joint strategic research planning among QSSBs, USB and regional checkoff programs, but no acceptable approach was reached due to lack of interest from the QSSBs.
