Nebraska Soybean Board

This week, educators from across the state traded the classroom for the field! 🌱

Participants in this year's Soybean Science Institute kicked off the program at the UNL Eastern Nebraska Research, Extension and Education Center by exploring different pieces of production, research and the many ways soybeans impact Nebraska's ag industry.

Next week, they'll build on those experiences by creating engaging lesson plans that connect soybeans, science and learning for their students!

This program is a collaboration between Nebraska Extension , the Nebraska Soybean Board, and the Nebraska Institute of Agriculture and Natural Resources.

Yesterday, we connected with over 200 students at the Nebraska Agricultural Youth Institute, sharing how soybeans create value both on and beyond the farm.

From checkoff investments to everyday products, students learned more about the soybean industry before testing their knowledge in a lively game of "Farmily Feud!"

Thanks for having us, NAYI. The future of Nebraska agriculture is bright!

As soybeans move through key growth stages, post-emergence herbicide applications can quickly become off-label. Knowing the crop’s growth stage, checking pre-harvest intervals and following the most restrictive label in a tank mix are important steps for protecting the crop and avoiding residue concerns.

Soybean Herbicide Application Restrictions by Growth Stage and Pre-Harvest Interval | CropWatch | Nebraska Post-emergence herbicide applications can quickly become off-label if soybean advances beyond key growth stages. Here's how to identify soybean growth stages and determine the latest safe application timing for commonly used herbicides.

Happy Fourth of July from the Nebraska Soybean Board! 🎆

We had a great time at the Seward County 4-H Ag Day teaching kids how soy helps fuel healthy, growing animals! Students learned why animals need a balanced ration, which includes soybeans, corn, and other key components to support overall health. They even got to mix up their own example ration to see how each ingredient plays a role!

Today, we welcomed Nebraska State FFA Officers Levi, Logan, Luke and Josette to learn more about Nebraska’s soybean industry and the work of Nebraska soybean farmers.

We’re proud to support FFA members and connect with the next generation of agricultural leaders. Best of luck during your year of service!
