Heatherly L.G., Hodges H.F. (eds.) Soybean Production in the Midsouth

CRC Press, 1999. — 416 p. — ISBN: 0-8493-2301-0.This book compiles information relevant to understanding soybean production processes and condenses it into a single volume. The authors identify production practices and bring together diverse information that suggests ways for producers to better utilize the soil and climatic resources of the midsouthern U.S. to enhance production of this valuable and versatile crop. This publication makes a special effort to focus on information that will enhance soybean production in the midsouth, where yields have been lower than those in the upper midwester n portion of the U.S., however, much of the information, such as statistics and crop models, will be applicable to other regions, from Texas to the Carolinas.Economics of soybean production in Mississippi (Bob Williams).
