For farmers including Tennessee’s farmers to grow crops, they need good – or at least decent  weather, including nourishing rain. But sometimes producers must deal with water deficit and drought (especially in West Tennessee, approximately 95% of soybean production is rainfed). If so why not go for a variety that still can survive, still can give you the benefits of growth and yield compared to the one that after a while is gone, the one cannot handle the drought conditions.
