 Understanding cover crop use in soybean production systems  PI: Dale Mutch, coPI: Dean Baas  Co-investigators:  Eileen Kladivko – Purdue University  Shaun Casteel – Purdue University  Tom Kaspar – USDA-ARS  Don Wyse – Univ. Minnesota  Jim Hoorman – Ohio State Univ.  Richard Hoormann – Univ. Missouri  David Clay - SDSU  Sharon Clay - SDSU  Matt Ruark – Univ. Wisconsin NORTH CENTRAL SOYBEAN RESEARCH PROGRAM

Research objectives:  Conduct surveys and interviews with soybean farmers (cover crop users and non-users) about cover crop use and determine what information farmers need.  Collaborate with MCCC members and other interested researchers to develop a management guide for cover crop use & soybean production.  Assess and prioritize future research needs to increase cover crop use in soybean production for the North Central Soybean Research Program.
