Like other legumes, soybeans are valued for their high protein content, with about 35 to 40 percent of their calories from protein. Because of this high protein content, soybeans are extremely important in the animal feed industry. If you grow soybeans, you know how important it is to know what the water requirements of the plant are. At each growth stage of a soybean plant, different water requirements will be needed for optimal growth and yields. ![soybeans03 - Copy.png](https://blog.irrigation.education/hs-fs/hubfs/IE_Files/IE_Blog_Posts/soybeans03%20-%20Copy.png?width=371&name=soybeans03%20-%20Copy.png) The *Crop Types: Soybean Overview* course on irrigation.education will teach you the anatomy and growth stages of a soybean plant, plant water requirements, and best irrigation methods for soybeans.
