Soy Notes

It is important that soybean farmers get information in a timely manner and through a medium that is clear, concise and easily accessible.

To that end, the Kansas Soybean Commission (KSC) annually develops six issues of its Soy Notes newsletter for distribution to all Kansas soybean farmers, first purchasers, Extension personnel and agricultural media. The publication focuses on various research, education and promotion projects funded by the soybean checkoff through KSC, the United Soybean Board and other members of the U.S. Soy community. Additional content includes developments in soybean production, marketing and utilization.

KSC currently inserts the newsletter in the Kansas Farmer magazine and the High Plains Journal newspaper. Extra copies are distributed at trade shows. The newsletter also is posted here.

The biggest hazard entering a grain bin is suffocation. This may happen through engulfment when stepping on flowing or bridged grain, or from toxic gases within the bin environment. If you must enter one of your bins, follow proper safety guidelines.
