Brief Project Summary:

The University of Kentucky Soybean Research Group has spent more than 2 years developing and compiling a Comprehensive Soybean Management Guide to replace publications that were more than 30 years old. This new publication will include the most up to date information on profitable soybean production in Kentucky.

Final Project Results

Although we initially requested printing of 2,500 copies of the Comprehensive Guide to Soybean Management in Kentucky, we were able to negotiate a better price per copy than originally bid. In the end, we were able to print 4,000 copies. The publications were received in late-June and were available for distribution at our annual Soybean Field Day in July 2018. Since then we have distributed almost 500 copies and plan to continue to distribute to farmers at various events for the next several years.

The United Soybean Research Retention policy will display final reports with the project once completed but working files will be purged after three years. And financial information after seven years. All pertinent information is in the final report or if you want more information, please contact the project lead at your state soybean organization or principal investigator listed on the project.
