Soybean growers will head to Des Moines Tuesday.

Iowa Soybean Association will hold their annual ISA Research Conference at the Iowa Events Center.

The conference begins at 1:00pm Tuesday afternoon and runs until 4:30pm Wednesday.

Michelle Jones at Iowa Soybean helps coordinate the conference.

?This year we are starting off with a mega issues discussion on Tuesday. That will feature sessions on weed resistance, the importance of monarch butterfly habitats, digital agriculture and then also land owner/operator conversations.?

She says they will have their traditional breakout sessions Wednesday.

?We hope our farmers can take away something to improve their operation. Whether that is on the production side or water quality. Just something that is going to make a difference to their bottom line and improve their overall farming operation.?

Jones adds cover crops will also be a topic of discussion.
