Video: You Can Help Open up New Opportunities in Soybean and Beyond
The state of Missouri is known as part of the Corn Belt, but it’s also known for another major crop — soybeans. The University of Missouri at Columbia boasts one
of the top soybean research programs in the country, and the key to success in the realm of soybean is attracting bright young researchers to the field.
Thanks to a slate of forward-
thinking sponsors, the Borlaug Scholarship is helping with that. The Borlaug scholarship program strengthens the plant breeding profession by helping support attendance of future leaders at
the National Association of Plant Breeders (NAPB) annual meeting.
Greg Luce, director of research at Missouri Soybeans which sponsors the Borlaug scholarship, says soybeans
are the top crop in Missouri and most economical crop to be grown in the state, and as such have such tremendous value. Opportunities in the sector are many.
