Soycam Field Observation
Cultivating Images throughout the Season!
The 2013 soybean season is upon us and ISA SoyCam photographers are preparing to capture the growth progress of this years’ soybean crop. We're excited to see a new year unfold. The anticipation of comparing and contrasting soybean production throughout the state of Illinois is building. Nine soybean producers covering the state will help educate the world about soybean production including crop stress and key steps along the way of growing and harvesting this miracle crop! If you are new to SoyCam, please browse through our many galleries. See how soybeans faired during the 2012 drought.
Here are a few things you can expect from following the progress on SoyCam:
- Watch soy production, from seedling emergence to plant maturity.
- Read regularly updated comments and production notes!
- Learn about soybean varieties, crop management techniques and challenges (such as soybean aphids and soybean cyst nematode).
In addition to posting traditional field photos, several participants also have posted pictures that represent key initiatives for ISA, including animal agriculture, sustainability and work for the Illinois Farm Families.
If you are interested in soybean agronomy, research or education, add this website to your list of favorites. Don't forget to check back often as crops are planted and harvested during the 2013, once the season kicks into full gear. We also encourage you to check out our SoyIllinois which gives you access to detailed information about soybean production in Illinois. SoyCam is funded by the Illinois soybean checkoff.
SoyIllinois highlights the advantages of doing business with Illinois soybean farmers by presenting statewide and county-specific statistics for supply, access and demand.
