Growing Soybean Enthusiasts: Insights from the Summer Soybean Institute
Soybean Institute Answers "Why do we grow so many soybeans in Nebraska?"

Why do we grow so many soybeans in Nebraska? When asked in a classroom, that question opens the door to exploring the Nebraska soybean story and learning why the crop is so important to our state and the world. 

The Nebraska Soybean Board, UNL’s Agronomy & Horticulture department, CASNR’s Education and Career Pathways team, and Nebraska Extension partnered together to equip teachers with the tools to answer the soybean question and much more through the Summer Soybean Institute (SSI). Teachers who attended explored ways to get students excited about soybeans and become “Soybean Enthusiasts.”
