10 years. 100 teachers. Thousands of students!

For the past decade, the Nebraska Soybean Board has invested soybean checkoff dollars in agricultural education through Curriculum for Agricultural Science Education (CASE) training.

Nebraska ag educators are using soybeans in their lessons to teach students about crop production, plant science and the many uses of soybeans. Nebraska ag educators are bringing hands-on learning opportunities into the classroom and helping students better understand the role soybeans play in agriculture.

This week's Nebraska Soybean Agronomy Update comes from Battle Creek in northeast Nebraska with Nate Meier, sales agronomist at Farmers Pride. After a damp, cloudy and rainy September, Nate shares what he's seeing as soybean harvest gets rolling, including wet ground, tough beans, varying moistures and purple seed stain. He also talks about pods sprouting or cracking open in the field and why a timely harvest matters, since beans that get too dry can lose yield quickly. Nate encourages growers to keep a close eye on grain samples and moisture, especially when storing beans on-farm. Most importantly, he reminds everyone to slow down and stay safe, because nothing is worth risking someone's life during the harvest rush.
