The Wisconsin Soybean Performance Trials are conducted each year with the producer’s needs in mind. Our objective is to give producers the information to select varieties that will satisfy specific goals and are most likely to perform best under their management practices.

In a bean pod
• Twenty-two out of the past 23 years, the 50-percent-Wisconsin soybean-planting progress date was attained May 13 to May 30.
• A one-day delay in the 23-year Wisconsin soybean 50-percent-progress date was related with a yield decrease of 0.45 bushel per acre.
• The 23-year historic-average date for Wisconsin soybean 50-percent-planting progress was May 24.
• Wisconsin soybean growers who reached the 50-percent-progress date 11 days earlier than the 23-year average of May 24 would have potentially gained 3.6 bushels per acre in yield.
