Evaluation of Organic Soybean Varieties

Authors: , ,

Abstract

According to the USDA National Organic Program, certified organic farmers must source organic seed (seed from organically raised crops). The organic seed industry is currently growing in Iowa and the Midwest. With this growth, organic growers are looking for university-based recommendations on organic varieties to use in Iowa. The Organic Agriculture Program at Iowa State University has been planting organic seed at the Southeast Research Farm for eight years with excellent results.
