Variety Testing Selection of varieties that best fit a farmer's production goals and challenges is an essential part of profitable soybean production. With the assistance of Missouri Soybean Programs and led by the Missouri Soybean Extension Specialist, Dr. Bill Wiebold (a.k.a. Soy Doc), the Variety Testing program at the University of Missouri, provides the reliable, unbiased, up-to-date information that makes that selection possible. Each year Variety Testing screens more than 600 soybean, grain sorghum, and maize varieties at 32 locations throughout Missouri. These 32 locations are distributed among four regions: North, Central, Southwest, and Southeast. The number of locations within a region depends on the specific test, but varies from two to five. Companies enter their varieties into tests at one or more of these regions, but their entries must be placed at all locations within a region. The headquarters for the Variety Testing program is the Bradford Research and Extension Center located in the heart of Missouri six miles east of Columbia, Mo. Variety Testing also has personnel located at the Delta Research Center near Portageville, Mo., and the Hundley - Whaley Center near Albany, Mo. The majority of the test locations are farmer’s fields and it recognizes the dedication of its cooperators.
