Maybe there's a reason no one grows soybeans around your area. Anyway, you are getting started at just the right time. You have plenty of time to learn before planting time. I recommend the following: 1. Join the ASA (American Soybean Association. Check out any promotions along with joining. I get 5 free bags of soybean seed and 100 acres of cell-tech seed treatment and some other stuff every time I sign up. 2. Try to attend a soybean association conference somewhere. They're usually in the winter and a great place to meet growers and attend seminars. 3. Read and study and ask as many questions as you can. A good primer is "Growing Great Soybeans" by Dr Harold Willis. Available (printable) on the internet. 4. Contact some local seed dealers to see if they have soybean seed and if they don't, why not? I have a corn/soybean rotation going but it would be better to have a corn/soybean/alfalfa rotation. I do love soybeans, though. They seem to have their own little brains vs corn which is as dumb a plant as can be found.
