In June, the Iowa Soybean Research Center welcomed TerraMax as its newest industry partner, which means they will have a representative on the ISRC’s Industry Advisory Council (IAC). The IAC provides guidance on research needs and funding priorities for the center.
“We are excited to welcome TerraMax as a partner to the ISRC, and we look forward to working with them to support forward-looking research that will benefit Iowa soybean producers,” said Steve Whitham, co-director of the ISRC and professor of plant pathology, entomology and microbiology at Iowa State.
“At TerraMax, our focus is on developing products that offer environmentally sound solutions for farmers, which aligns closely with the objectives of the ISRC, and we’re honored to be part of the effort to bring novel management strategies to soybean growers in Iowa. For years we have worked with Iowa State and are proud to be able to join the ranks of industry partners supporting this great institution.” said Tom Proepper, TerraMax chief operating officer.
“We look forward to gaining TerraMax’s perspective in identifying ways to enhance soybean production that benefit Iowa’s soybean farmers by producing healthier plants and increasing crop yields,” said Joe McClure, chief officer, Research Center for Farming Innovation for the Iowa Soybean Association and chair of the Iowa Soybean Research Center’s Industry Advisory Council.
