Research is a major component of Ohio's soybean checkoff program. The results not only find new uses for home-grown soybeans, but they also help farmers mitigate pests, disease and other factors that could rob yield. On this Ohio Ag Net Podcast, powered by Ohio Corn and Wheat, meet the new Director of Research with the Ohio Soybean Council, Taylor Dill and learn about how her path through OSU Extension prepared her for this new role.

Plus, Farm to Power's Sam Roberts joins us to talk about how his organization is helping farmers navigate the noise around property rights, farmland preservation and Ohio's energy needs.

Then, Wayne County Extension's John Yost visits with Dusty Sonnenberg about upcoming sheep programing to get farmers prepared for 2026.
