Hawkeye Soybean Promises Higher Yields for Farmers
A new soybean variety Hawkeye developed by Weber Weiss and Kallen in a USDA Iowa State College program shows yields similar to Lincoln and higher than Richland in five years of tests.

Hawkeye tests across the corn soy belt indicate adaptation to Northern states and strong regional results. Seed production begins and commercial farming use is expected within two years.
