Soycam Field Observation
See Agriculture in Action!
The 2012 soybean planting season is getting started, which means it's time to begin another year of the ISA SoyCam program. We're excited to see what this year's photographers will have to share. In addition to traditional field photos, several participants also will be posting pictures that represent key initiatives for ISA, including animal agriculture, sustainability and work for the Illinois Farm Families.
We encourage you to view and track their photos, so you can compare them with each other and your own crops to see how they are doing in relation.
If you are interested in soybean agronomy, research or education, you'll want to add this website to your list of favorites. Check back often to view updated soybean camera images and learn how each crop is progressing.
- Watch soy production, from seedling emergence to plant maturity.
- Read the farmers' regularly updated comments.
- Learn about soybean varieties, farming practices, crop management techniques and challenges (such as soybean rust disease and the soybean cyst nematode).
- 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.
