Increasingly sophisticated market demand may provide price premium opportunities for specific soybean grain composition such as high protein and/or high oil content. Management recommendations to foster those specific grain composition outputs are scarce at best. Neither growers nor the processing industry have a good understanding of how soil pH might affect soybean’s protein and oil output per acre. These studies objectives are to evaluate the impact of acidic soil pH on soybean protein and oil output per acre.
