The 2022 Soybean Management Field Days (SMFD) included in-person and in the field August 9-12 at four sites across Nebraska: Blue Hill, Central City, Brownville and Decatur. The field days are a continued partnership between the Nebraska Soybean Board (NSB) and Nebraska Extension to help soybean growers maximize productivity and profitability through smart decisions and efficient use of resources.
A team of University specialists, educators and industry consultants discussed various topics related to NSB checkoff research, marketing and education efforts. The presentations focused on research-based information with opportunities for interactive discussion, informal conversations and field tours.
If you weren't able to attend SMFD this year, we invite you to take a look around this page. The 2022 SMFD presentations were summarized and packaged into the videos below.
