How On-Farm Soybean Demonstrations Drive Smarter Variety Decisions

From the MS Row Crop Short Course in Starkville last December, Justin Calhoun and Bill O’Neal of Bolivar County dive into the Soybean On-Farm Variety Demonstration Program led by Mississippi State University Extension and why it has become such a valuable decision-making tool for growers. They discuss how real-world, on-farm data complements university research, helping growers evaluate soybean varieties under conditions that closely match their own fields.  From trial design to practical takeaways, this episode shows how local data, shared through Extension, turns research into actionable insight on the farm.
