Farmers struggle to optimize corn residue management in no-till soybean rotations without clear yield impact guidance

No-till farmers managing corn-to-soybean rotations face uncertainty about how to handle corn residue—whether leaving it helps or hurts subsequent soybean yields. Current agronomic guidance is inconsistent and farm-specific, forcing farmers to make expensive decisions with incomplete information that directly impact profitability on thousands of acres. Farmers need predictive tools or clear protocols tailored to their specific soil, climate, and equipment conditions.
