Growing Soybeans Has a Surprisingly Significant Emissions Footprint, but It’s Ripe for Reduction Over the typical two-year rotation of corn and soybeans most Iowa farmers use, 40% of nitrous oxide emissions are in the soybean year, according to a new study by an Iowa State University research tea...

How can policy makers help agriculture reduce its greenhouse gas footprint? New research shows soybeans contribute 40% of nitrous oxide emissions in typical corn-soybean rotations, even without nitrogen fertilizer. #IowaStateResearch #Soybeans
