2025 Grow for the Green Soybean Yield Challenge
Each year the Grow for the Green Soybean Yield Challenge recognizes and rewards Arkansas' top soybean producers. The Arkansas Soybean Promotion Board, Arkansas Soybean Association and the University of Arkansas Division of Agriculture unite to implement and promote this contest. The board sponsors the yield challenge, which provides information and tools to Arkansas soybean producers, such as a look at how top yields are reached. Your checkoff funds are used to reward producers for their hard work in helping to increase yield in Arkansas.
The deadline to apply for this year's challenge is August 1, 2025.
We want to commend all entrants for the 2024 Grow for the Green Soybean Yield Contest! The Race for 100 Yield Contest began in 2007 and in 2013, the first three producers reached the goal.
Congratulations to the following winners of the 2024 Grow for the Green Soybean Yield Contest. We appreciate the participation of all the producers entered in the contest and the sharing of their production methods and management practices with the rest of the Arkansas soybean industry.
