Learn about soybean maturity groups and which is best for your application.

Learn about shatter resistance and does it really matter? Learn about deer research by Dr. Steve Demarais, Dr. Bronson Strickland and Dr. Marcus Lashley. Learn why its important to read seed bag labels.  Maternal effects in whitetails.
