The industry partners receive no funds for their cooperative participation in our multi-location yield tests, but with over 200 entries evaluated in replicated tests in 15 environments, their in-kind contribution is significant. In addition, all university participants in this project receive support from their state, regional, or national commodity programs and are recognized leaders in soybean research. The USDA cooperators receive support from USDA for their ongoing research and development programs. Moreover, a simple calculation of a 45% or more facilities and administrative fee that is typical on federally funded projects provides additional information on the in-kind contributions that are made for this project.
