Aphid-resistant soybeans

[gil.gullickson]

All,

It's a few months away (and hopefully they won't surface this year) from soybean aphid infestations. Have any of you planted any aphid-resistant soybeans? I edited a story a few weeks ago about these varieties, and the entomologist we interviewed was pretty favorable on their promise for deterring soybean aphids. 

Thanks,

I haven't heard about this.  I'll keep my eyes open.

The news about soybeans is ILeVo, more Liberty being planted, 2-4,d next year and so forth.

Seed beans were so big this year that those of us still using bagged beans got sacks with 70,000 count because the 140,000 bagts were too full and too heavy.
