Video : Soybean Research In Chile - George Graef

In the mid 1980s, the Nebraska Soybean Board provided UNL with $15,000 to begin a soybean breeding and genetic studies project. Last year, the Nebraska Soybean Board invested $230,521 in research for the project, which will soon mark its 31st year. Last year also saw the commercialization of three additional soybean lines from the breeding program and the completion of a major license agreement with Bayer CropScience. That partnership will allow access to soybean breeding lines and populations from the program. George Graef, UNL professor of agronomy and horticulture, has worked with the program for many years and recently showed a group of Nebraska growers and researchers around his soybean plots in Chile.
