April 19, 2017 Your yield potential is greatest on the day you put the seed in the ground. Your planter plays a significant role in reaching that potential. All planters have one thing in common—they can be serious money makers on the farm if configured and set correctly. At the same time, lack of attention to operational details can cause a train wreck that hampers yields all season. There are some basic things farmers can do to ensure... |

Consider reducing the population to let the plant exploit this opportunity. 2016 allowed many growers in Illinois to plant soybeans earlier than they have in previous years. For some, it was their first time planting soybeans in April. The yield differences of April versus May planted beans have caught the attention of most growers and those without much early planting experience may be surprised by recommended... |

April 14, 2017 Want to break 100 bushels? Here are a few foundation steps to follow. As with corn, soybean yield and profitability potential decline once the seed is placed and becomes vulnerable to the environment and the field’s biological systems. The day of planting is when yield potential is at its greatest. A good start to high yields usually means planting early, at the right population and with the proper seed treatments. For many... |

April 13, 2017 SCN HG types are the new standard: How do they differ from SCN races and what does it mean to you? No matter how we name, define or categorize them, soybean cyst nematodes (SCN) are a major threat to soybean production. Early on, it was discovered that some populations of SCN were still reproducing at elevated levels on soybean varieties that supposedly had excellent resistance to SCN. In 1970, a race test became the standard for... |
