Brief Project Summary:
This project seeks to enhance local weather and climate data to advance Ohio soybean production. Increasing Ohio’s near real-time weather and soil observations is likely to improve understanding of the impacts that weather and climate have on soybean production. A data network technician working alongside The Ohio State University Extension’s Ag Weather and Climate Field Specialist and State Climatologist Aaron Wilson can assess and upgrade the CFAES Ag Weather System. This improved weather network will support better understanding of the relationships between local weather conditions and planting delay impacts, disease issues like white mold, and help develop enhanced crop models to improve timing and production.

Information And Results
Project Summary

This proposal seeks to enhance local weather and climate data to advance Ohio soybean production, aligned with the Ohio Soybean Council’s Goal to Build Understanding. It is assumed that by increasing Ohio’s near real-time weather and soil observations, we will improve our understanding of the impacts that weather and climate have on soybean production in Ohio. We seek funds to secure a Data Network Technician that will work alongside The Ohio State University (OSU) Extension’s Ag Weather and Climate Field Specialist and State Climatologist Aaron Wilson to assess and upgrade the CFAES Ag Weather System. This improved weather network will allow us to better understand the relationships between local weather conditions and planting delay impacts, disease issues like white mold, and help develop enhanced crop models to improve timing and production.

Benefit To Soybean Farmers

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.
