Like a lion lurking in the grass, bracing to pounce, sudden death syndrome (SDS) could be lying in wait in soybean fields — invisible until it’s too late for growers to defend their yields.

To learn from the challenges that we faced, we need to ask ourselves how can we turn those challenges into actionable opportunities? What can we learn from our data to maximize the factors that are within our control and to make those audible calls easier to make?More
