## Resource

In this special bonus episode of Talking Crop, host, Kathryn Seebruck, speaks with Mark Kendall, Research Agronomist for the University of Wisconsin Soybean and Small Grains Extension Program. Mark is a speaker at the 2026 Northwest Illinois Agronomy Summit in Freeport, Illinois. His presentation is titled, "Foliar fertilizers: when do we see the best bang for the buck in soybean?" Mark will discuss how selecting the right nutrients and applying them at the right time are critical to gaining a positive return on investment (ROI) with lower commodity prices. His presentation will look back at the most recent 5+ years of research to see where foliar fertilizers fit best in soybean production.
