Nebraska soybean growers and agriculture professionals completed surveys regarding their management of and concerns regarding emerging insect and weed pests. The research goals of the survey was to gather information on growers' willingness to use soybean gall midge (SGM) management strategies, their attitudes towards the use of strategies, and look at factors that amplify or hinder the use of these strategies. Survey responses were collected in 2023, 2024, and 2025 to track growers’ attitudes and willingness to adopt strategies in an emergent fashion, as the impact of SGM and other pests change and management practices are refined through ongoing research.
