Dear Arkansas Soybean Producer:

Welcome to the second annual edition of Soybeans Today. This publication, produced by the Cooperative Extension Service and funded by your checkoff dollars, is intended to provide you with updates on the latest results from checkoff-funded research. We hope the information it contains will be helpful in your farming operation.

As you review this publication, you will see the scope of the research program which is funded with the soybean checkoff. Before funding decisions are made, your Board very closely scrutinizes all projects submitted and selects those for funding with your best interest in mind. We feel there are many excellent projects underway which, when completed, will greatly benefit our industry.

It is always very difficult for the Board to decide which projects to fund each year, and input from each of you would be very beneficial in this process. Producer feedback on new problems not common over the entire state will keep our research program on the cutting edge. Conversely, if you see areas where resources are being spent looking for answers that already exist, let us know that as well.

Resources are too scarce to not seek maximum returns on our investment.

We hope 1996 was a very successful year for each of you and wish you the best for 1997.

Sincerely,
Roger Polhner, Chairman
