June 21, 2020 The 2020 season has developed into a very challenging year—and that was before the planting and replanting issues. Earlier this season national and international demand for corn and soybeans slowed down drastically, which dropped the current CBOT future prices $0.70/b under what federal crop... Read More → |

Negotiating Nutrient Needs – Soybean Nodulation June 29, 2020 Nitrogen nutrient requirements for soybeans are much less than they are for corn (total volume/acre). Why is that? Soybeans require every essential nutrient that other row crops do, but they can “produce” their own nitrogen (N). Like a few other plants, soybeans are a legume crop, which means they...

It’s Never too Late in the Fight Against Weeds May 22, 2020 When Roundup Ready® soybeans were introduced, times were good. You could schedule your spray application from the calendar and not think twice about whether your fields were going to stay clean. Mother Nature has since prevailed, showing scientists who is boss and showing us what we’ve been taking... Read More → |

Balancing Beneficial Insects in Soybeans June 27, 2020 Insects are everywhere. For every man, woman and child on the face of the earth there are 200 million insects. In honor of National Pest Week, which is June 22-28, I thought I’d write my article this month about insects in soybean production. When you hear the word insect, many people have... Read More → |

Nitrogen and Soybeans: Mineralization, Nodules and Fertilizer May 31, 2020 Soybeans are amazing plants. Unlike our other major crop in Illinois, they’re not as cut and dried which is usually a good thing. Have a planter skip or early sprayer pass run over one or two plants across the row? Soybeans will bush out, add branches with extra nodes and pods, and use all those... Read More → |

July 08, 2020 July is an interesting month for soybean growers. The crop has been planted and most of the post-emergence herbicide applications have been completed. With the exception of potential fungicide application, most of the factors that are within the farmer’s control are past. Weather will be the... Read More → |

I Planted Beans Early, Now I’ll Set Yield Records, Right? June 07, 2020 Many farmers in the state of Illinois planted this year’s soybean crop earlier than ever before. Near-perfect soil conditions in early April, coupled with less than favorable memories of 2019, led to widespread planting across the state in the first half of the month. Widespread understanding...

July 10, 2020 Rain. Depending on the season and whether you do not have enough of it or perhaps too much, rain can lead to disappointing failure or a record-breaking crop. Agriculture is inextricably linked with water, yet those of us without irrigation have very little ability to control the amounts and timing... Read More → |

Uncover Hidden Nutrient Deficiencies with Tissue Testing June 14, 2020 Are you able to look at a plant and know exactly which nutrients might be limiting yield this growing season?

Soybean Agronomic Goal Setting, More Than A Resolution June 17, 2020 Many make a resolution at the beginning of each year to somehow better themselves. Exercise more, eat less, stop smoking or make more time for friends and family, just to name a few. Most times those resolutions don’t last much through the first day, week or maybe month. There are many reasons why... Read More → |

Let’s take a look at the symptomology of soybeans impacted by a hard frost and/or freeze and separate out the look-alikes. Scouting Though you may want to rush out before the frost is burned off...
