ISRC staff and Industry Advisory Council Chair, Joe McClure, who is the Chief Officer of the Research Center for Farming Innovation at the Iowa Soybean Association, met mid-June to go over plans for the center’s soybean research forum and annual Industry Advisory Council (IAC) meeting, which will be held September 15 and 16, respectively. The group also previewed the 12 soybean research ideas that were submitted for funding consideration this year.
On September 14, industry partners, farmers and researchers will be invited to a soybean research forum at ISU’s Alumni Center to help identify future research needs through small group discussions. An ISU graduate student research poster session to host up and coming research talent will be held later in the day.
On September 15, the ISRC will hold its annual IAC meeting at Reiman Gardens, which will feature lightning talks from soybean researchers, and the council will review research projects for ISRC-funding.
