This tool uses crop growth models to simulate soybean development and yield across different regions of Missouri, integrating both historical and current weather data.
Its main goal is to help farmers understand how weather conditions throughout the current season are influencing crop development and attainable yield. For example, the reports indicate whether the 2025 season is trending above or below average, allowing farmers to anticipate yield outcomes well before harvest.
These forecasts support in-season decision-making by providing timely insights into crop performance.
The forecast tool is released twice a month by the Soybean Farming Systems Research and Extension team, with support from the Missouri Soybean Merchandising Council.
