Ed Anderson, Iowa Soybean Association, at the organization's research conference, Ames, Iowa, Feb. 19, 2015.The Iowa Soybean Association’s ongoing research includes on-farm replicated strip trials, according to Ed Anderson of the ISA, who says the research is done to evaluate cropping systems, agronomics and products and practices in the field with farmers as the participants.  The goal of the research, he says, is multifaceted.

“We’re focused primarily on agronomics and cropping systems, management practices and conservation practices for sustainability and productivity,” Anderson told Brownfield Ag News.

The Iowa Soybean Association also works on productivity research with Iowa State University and institutions in other states.  “We’re really trying to build programs that focus on yield, on germplasm improvement,” said Anderson.
