We couldn’t be prouder of our very own @MSSOY Board Member and @UnitedSoy Chair, Philip Good! Thank you for your continued leadership, vision, and dedication to the #SoyCheckoff 🫛
Philip Good, @UnitedSoy Chair, @msstate alum and MS farmer, shared a compelling perspective on the vital role U.S. ag plays in global food security at the Food & Agriculture as National Security Conference held at MSU this spring.

Hot dry years are the ones where the root-knot nematode patches stand out. Always check roots for galling @MSSOY

🌽🌱New high-speed planting pubs!
Doubling speed ↑ vibration & misses in corn but didn’t affect yield. In soy, baseline row cleaners handled heavy rye well at 15.5 km/h — no extras needed.
Thanks to @MississippiCorn & @MSSOY.

Root and stem diseases picking up across MS. Dig up plants and observe roots since diagnosing some things like root-knot nematode need roots/galls to be observed rather than focusing on foliar symptoms. TRD vs SDS (left pic), root-knot galling (right) @MSSOY

Soybeans + cover crops + cattle = $$, says @MSU_AG #SoyResearch funded by @MSSOY and others. Best practices for grazing beef cattle can help farmers protect soil health while optimizing crop and beef production for higher per-acre revenue. #SoyCheckoff bit.ly/3Rr1E1j

Several calls about poor soybean nodulation this week, mostly on fields new to #soybeans or out of beans for 3–5 years. Inoculants are living organisms—storage, treatment combinations, and time to planting matter. No nodules by V4–V5? Apply 60 lb N now and another 60 lb at R1–R2.

Taproot decline of soybean has a common denominator. Dig around long enough and you’ll likely find blackened residue from the previous season that harbors the fungus. Roots of developing soybean plants come into contact with the residue and you get taproot decline #mscrops @MSSOY

Soybean planting comes with many decisions. Our team covered several of those decisions, like planting date, row spacing, and seeding rate, in an early spring webinar. Check it out to learn more at: resources.ipmcenters.org/res…

ALT Image of a powerpoint slide covering soybean plant population. Text reads “Soybean plant population” with bullet points of “wide range of seeding rates are used”, “soybean adapts to its environment”, “produces similar yields under low or high plant populations”, and “choice of rate is dependent on production environment and level of risk tolerance”. There is a decorative strip at the top with a logo and a map with shades of green and orange to depict seeding rates on the right side.

2025 MSPB Soybean Yield Challenge is in the books & we appreciate all of the yield challenges entries across MS. Top winners for MS utilized April planting dates and Group IV maturity. Look for the 2026 program! Thanks to all who made the 2025 yield challenge so successful.

The team of @thedirtdude is investigating why soybean stand loss is common when planting at higher speeds. These two videos showcase the inside of a seed meter when planting 140k soybeans at 3 vs 13 mph. Notice the difference in feed quality? This might explain SOME, but not all of the stand loss. #SoyCheckoff #ScienceForSuccess #SoybeanResearch
