Brief Project Summary:

Wildlife are believed to cause significant losses to yields for grain farmers within the state of Kentucky. Currently, only research from last season has attempted to quantify yield losses directly attributed to white-tailed deer within Kentucky. Previous research on deer damage to grain crops in other regions of the United States have found contradicting results, with some research showing significantly decreased yields while others show little to no effect on yields. Within Kentucky, over the last several decades deer populations have drastically increased in many areas. Increasing deer densities have impacts on several ecosystems; however, no previous agricultural damage studies have...

Final Project Results

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.
