Irrigation water management tools can increase yields, conserve water and energy, and reduce runoff. The Row-Crop Irrigation Science and Extension Research (RISER) program at Mississippi State University was developed as a science-based approach to evaluate irrigation best management practices and is designed to assist producers in reducing water use while maintaining yield and profitability.
Through this program, irrigation water management tools have been identified and shown to save water and time and increase profitability. One of the easiest ways to improve irrigation efficiency is by utilizing soil moisture sensors for irrigation scheduling. Soil moisture sensors can help take the guesswork out of irrigation scheduling for timely ir

There are lots of reasons for the improved yields that have been observed over the last decade, but to put it simply, best management practices are key. Soybean Variety Selection, Planting Dates, Seeding Rates and Row Spacing Considerations
Trent Irby | Mar 03, 2021
Soybeans, compared to other major crops in the Mid-South, are capable of being planted across a wider range of calendar dates while requiring three to four times the seeds per acre and having the flexibility of being planted on row spacings ranging from 7.5-inch ultra-narrow rows to 38-inch wide rows.
What does this mean in terms of reaching top end yield goals? Sometimes it means that things can just simply be confusing.

The estimated Mississippi agricultural commodity values for soybeans have now jumped into the No. 2 spot, replacing forestry. Soybean markets with increased acreage and yields from 2019 helped improve the production numbers.

The Mississippi Soybean Promotion Board (MSPB) mission of reinvesting soybean checkoff dollars into research and extension programs to improve the long-term success of our commodity and increase the bottom-line potential for Mississippi soybean growers is making a difference.
According to the latest data supplied by Mississippi State University Extension, the estimated Mississippi agricultural commodity values for soybeans have now jumped into the No. 2 spot, replacing forestry, with an estimated 2020 production value of $1.21 billion. Soybean markets with increased acreage and yields from 2019 helped improve the production numbers.
