"If I wasn't a farmer, I'd be an agronomist," says Lancaster County, Pa., soybean farmer Bob Shearer. Shearer is one of the farmer/cooperators participating in the 2016 PA On-Farm Network field trials. He is taking part in an insecticide and fungicide study on his farm as well as a population study. This year, he has planted lower populations of early beans based on the results of population studies done in prior years. The PA On-Farm Network is sponsored by the Pa. Soybean Board, and administered by Penn State Extension.
