Research Updates To Cover Results From Soybean Management Field Day Trials

Jan 23, 2013

In late January researchers will be sharing information and yields from the replicated field research conducted at the summer 2012 Soybean Management Field Days.

The summer Soybean Management Field Days feature presentations and field trials related to soybean production, marketing, and management. In 2012 arrangements were made with four soybean producers to plant seven replicated trials on each of their center pivot irrigated fields. University of Nebraska faculty will share and discuss yield results at each of the Research Update locations.

Research updates will include:

Quest for the Holy Grail in Soybean Production (Row spacing/seed rate, fungicides; plant populations/planting date and maturity group interactions)

Charles Shapiro, UNL soils scientist – crop nutrition
Evan Sonderegger, UNL graduate student
Jim Specht, UNL professor of agronomy

Soybean Seed Treatments and Foliar Fungicides and Growth Enhancement Interactions with Herbicides

Loren Giesler, UNL plant pathologist
Michael Rethwisch, UNL extension educator

Herbicide-Carrier Rate Study

Lowell Sandell, UNL weed science Extension educator
Cody Creech, UNL graduate student
Greg Kruger, UNL Extension cropping system specialist

Video: What is Anhydrous Ammonia and Why Do We Use It?

Border View Farms is a mid-sized family farm that sits on the Ohio-Michigan border. My name is Nathan. I make and edit all of the videos posted here. I farm with my dad, Mark and uncle, Phil. Our part-time employee, Brock, also helps with the filming. 1980 was our first year in Waldron where our main farm is now. Since then we have grown the operation from just a couple hundred acres to over 3,000. Watch my 500th video for a history of our farm I filmed with my dad.

I started making these videos in the fall of 2019 as a way to help show what I do on a daily basis as a farmer. Agriculture is different from any other industry and I believe the more people that are showing their small piece of agriculture, helps to build our story. We face unique challenges and stressful situations but have some of the most rewarding payoffs in the end. I get to spend everyday doing what I love, raising my kids on the farm, and trying to push our farm to be better every year. I hope that I can address questions or concerns that you might have about farms and agriculture.
