Six Soybean Varieties Recommended by Iowa State College
Iowa State College agronomist C R Weber recommends six soybean varieties for 1957 planting in Iowa: Chippewa Blackhawk Hawk Eye Adams Lincoln and Clark. Chippewa is the newest and matures earlier than Blackhawk, best in extreme northern Iowa. Blackhawk is suited to northern Iowa and can be grown in central Iowa if delays occur. Hawkeye is the most widely grown variety in Iowa and the Corn Belt, suitable for northern and central Iowa and usable when southern planting is delayed. Adams fits central and southern Iowa. Lincoln adapts to all but the northern three tiers. Clark is a southern option, recommended for the southern three tiers. Grant is also mentioned as another variety option.

Farmers weigh Grant as late emergency planting option
Farmers have indicated interest but Grant is not recommended as a full season variety. Weber says Grant should not be used except when planting is delayed to a very late date. Yields from Grant run 3 bushels less than Chippewa and Blackhawk, but Grant matures 6 days earlier and can be used for emergency plantings.
