1. United Soybean Board Production Program Ed Ready Program Manager

2. Target Areas Yield –Protect existing yield potential Biotic Stress Resistance (SCN, SDS, Rust, etc.) Abiotic Stress Resistance (Drought) –Improve genetic potential

3. Target Areas Composition –Improve Fatty Acid Composition –Increase Protein Level –Improve amino acid balance –Reduce phytate phosphorous

4. Correlation with National Program 302

5. USB-Funded Projects with ARS Involvement Yield –Evaluation for Rust Resistance –Identification of and Utilization of Exotic Germplasm to Improve Productivity –SNP Discovery and Mapping –Drought Stress Tolerance –SCN Resistance

6. USB-Funded Projects with ARS Involvement Composition –Development of High Protein Soybean Meal (includes reduced Phytate) –Development of low saturate, mid-oleic, low linolenic oil

7. USB-Funded Projects with ARS Involvement Genomics –Soybean Genomics Executive Committee –Development of Physical Map
