Fig. 1 Average total dry matter (DM) yield and proportion of leaves, stems, and pods of forage, grain, and Wisconsin Black (WISC.BK) soybean at early harvest and forage soybean at late harvest in 1995; and forage and grain soybean at early and late harvest in 1996. In 1995, data are the average for the forage soybean OR 5-12-1T, Derry, Donegal, OR 13-12-3, OR 14-11-2, OR 19-12-2, and PA 5-2-1; and for the grain soybean Sturdy and IA 2008 R. In 1996, the forage soybean were Tyrone, Derry, Donegal, OR 5-12-1T, and PA 5-2-1; and the grain soybean were Sturdy and IA 2007 R

Fig. 2 Average crude protein (CP), acid-detergent fiber (ADF), and neutral-detergent fiber (NDF) concentrations of soybean leaves and stems at early harvest for forage, grain, and Wisconsin Black (WISC.BK) soybean at Rosemount (Ros) and Waseca (Was), MN. In 1995, data are average for the forage soybean OR 13-12-3, OR 14-11-2, and PA 5-2-1; and for the grain soybean Sturdy and Wisconsin Black (WISC.BK). In 1996, the forage soybean were Derry, PA 5-2-1, and Tyrone. The grain soybean was Sturdy

Fig. 3 Average crude protein (CP), acid-detergent fiber (ADF) and neutral-detergent fiber (NDF) concentrations in pods at early harvest for forage, grain, and Wisconsin Black (WISC.BK) soybean at Rosemount (Ros) and Waseca (Was), MN. In 1995, data are the average for the forage soybean OR 13-12-3, OR 14-11-2, and PA 5-2-1; and the grain soybean Sturdy and WISC.BK. In 1996, the forage soybean were Derry, PA 5-2-1, and Tyrone. The grain soybean was Sturdy. By harvest at Rosemount in 1995, and at both locations in 1996, the only forage soybean with pods was PA 5-2-1; thus, the values for the pod quality at these three site-years are the averages for PA 5-2-1
