This site provides links to agricultural crop variety testing information from several states. It is a project of the North Central Crop Evaluation Committee and is intended to assist farmers, seed marketers, researchers, crop consultants, and others with an interest in identifying superior crop hybrids and varieties. We do this by making available a large resource of unbiased performance information for most of the crop hybrids and varieties marketed in the region. This program offers unbiased, third party information to Iowa growers on commercial seed available for them to grow.
Producers sell soybeans as soybeans yet buyers buy soybeans as soybean meal and soybean oil.
The objective of this web site is to increase soybean value transparency so producers begin to consider the protein and oil content of varieties planted. The soybean processing industry has not established market incentives to guide variety selection based on component value, but with new genetically engineered seeds, compositional value will drive all producer seed selection. The original model was converted to an Excel version with minor modifications by AEC and later converted to this Java version thanks to the efforts of StratSoy. This calculator is offered to the public as an incentive and resource to learn more about the changes taking place in agriculture as it moves into the knowledge age. Quality Report is published by the U.S. Feed Grains Council as a broad-based compilation of test results and analysis of the VEC market in the United States.
