Our Mission
The mission of StopSoybeanRust.com is to provide soybean growers, agricultural retailers, crop consultants and everyone concerned with the health of the U.S. soybean crop with the No. 1 trusted source for the latest news, resources and training available to help track and combat soybean rust.
Who We Are
StopSoybeanRust.com was launched on November 1, 2004, by
Dealer & Applicator (now AgProfessional) magazine, Successful Farming magazine and Greenbook. Ten days later, the presence of Asian soybean rust was confirmed in Louisiana. While we were surprised along with everyone else by its early arrival, we were ready to help and have been on the job every day since.
We partner with the United Soybean Board, which has provided its 4-color diagnostic guide and expert information on a regular basis.
Our readers benefit by getting the top news and analysis from the editors of Successful Farming, Agriculture Online and AgProfessional; the searchable databases of Greenbook; and articles, editing and content management by the editor of StopSoybeanRust.com, Marilyn Cummins.
Technical information on the site (see topics on top navigation bar) comes from several expert sources, including the Crop Adviser Institute in partnership with Iowa State University.
Our Future Together
StopSoybeanRust.com is much more than a place to read about the latest rust news. As the site has grown and evolved through the first full U.S. growing season with soybean rust, we have added opportunities for you to sign up for educational Web seminars, receive updated information by e-mail, guide content by asking for the information you need most, and much more.
We are encouraged by the conversations we’ve had with readers through “Ask the Experts,” a feature where we have experts from throughout the industry address your questions for everyone's benefit. Click here for several ways to contact us about the site, and please let us know how we can continue to help, as we all learn together the best ways to manage this new challenge to American agriculture.
