Growing season<\/h2>

Soybean varieties differ based on how long their growing season needs to be. Farmers need to consider if they will be planting soybeans earlier in the season (April) or later in the season after harvesting wheat in the early summer (late June or early July).<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>[\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner el_class=”iconboxrow”][vc_column_inner]

<\/span><\/div><\/div>

Pests, weeds and disease<\/h2>

Some soybean varieties provide added protection against pests, weeds and diseases common to soybeans. If farmers have dealt with these pressures in their fields before, they may consider a variety that is resistant to issues the soybeans may face.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>[\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner el_class=”iconboxrow”][vc_column_inner]

<\/span><\/div><\/div>

Yield<\/h2>

Farmers may consider a high-yielding soybean variety. While these varieties do yield more bushels of soybeans per an acre, they also may require additional inputs such as nitrogen.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>[\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner el_class=”iconboxrow”][vc_column_inner]

End user<\/h2>

Who is going to be using the soybean meal and oil is an important consideration for producers when selecting a soybean variety to plant. Animal agriculture remains the top consumer of soybeans and needs high-quality protein. Some food manufacturers are looking for specific types of soybean oil, such as SOYLEIC\u00ae<\/sup>\u2013 a non-GMO, high-oleic soybean oil developed in Missouri.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>[\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][\/vc_section][vc_section full_width=”stretch_row” css=”.vc_custom_1656436576780{margin-bottom: 80px !important;padding-top: 40px !important;background-image: url(https:\/\/mosoy.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/dots.png?id=141) !important;background-position: 0 0 !important;background-repeat: no-repeat !important;}” wpex_bg_position=”top left” el_class=”dotsupdown”][vc_row content_placement=”middle” css=”.vc_custom_1654882902817{padding-top: 80px !important;padding-bottom: 40px !important;}”][vc_column width=”5\/12″][vc_column_text el_class=”brownhead”]\n
