MSC is committed to providing Michigan producers with the latest information to help you address challenges to your soybean profitability.

​The Michigan Soybean On-Farm Research project gives producers the tools to implement production studies in a local, real world environment in order to improve soybean management and profitability. Studies are conducted with production scale equipment in a statistically relevant framework. The annual on-farm research report is shared with more than 10,000 growers each year.
