2025 Illinois Soybean Production Research Preview
Jennifer Jones spotlights 2025 Illinois Soybean checkoff-funded research projects, now featured on the new and improved Field Advisor platform for streamlined access to key agronomic information and project developments.
Winning With Wheat and Double-Crop Soybeans
In this episode, Kelsey Litchfield talks with John Howell, president of the Illinois Wheat Association, about the 2024 winter wheat crop, its challenges, and why yields continue to improve. They also discuss double-crop soybeans and a new initiative from the Illinois Wheat Association.
Weed Management in Double Crop Soybeans
Double the crop, half the weed control – that’s part of the allure of following wheat harvest with a second planting of soybeans. However, this approach involves different weed spectrums, residual herbicide timing decisions, and spray cut-off dates to consider.
Wheat Genetics and Management Considerations for Double-Crop Bean Success
Explore the profitability of wheat and double-crop soybeans with Dr. Jessica Rutkoski in this Better Beans presentation. Learn about wheat harvest strategies, scab control, and methods to enhance yields.
WEBINAR: Soybean-Specifics of Soil Health: What Do We Know?
When it comes to soybeans, are there specific considerations for soil health? In this webinar, Dr. Andrew Margenot with the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, reviews reasons for anticipating soybean-specific considerations on soil health processes and management and methods for testing soil health.
Harvest to High Yields: Combine Residue’s Impact on Wheat and Double Crop Soybeans
High yield for wheat and double crop soybeans starts now with the combine. Illinois Soybean Association Soy Envoy, Kelly Robertson, shares insight into preparing the combine to roll through the field and residue management for timely and even emergence of wheat and double crop soybeans.
Wheat As a Suppressor of SCN In Double-Cropping Soybeans
As farmers start planning their wheat harvest and soybean planting, Soy Envoy Leo Rocha continues his soybean pathology series with a summary of some research projects developed at Southern Illinois University looking into the impact of wheat on the soybean cyst nematode.
Learning From the Best at the Double Crop Farmer’s Forum
The event discussed nearly all aspects of wheat production with a special emphasis on improving wheat yield and profitability of the wheat double-crop system.
Attention Double Crop Producers: March 15th Crop Insurance Deadline Approaching
The USDA Risk Management announced this summer that agricultural producers may have options for double crop soybeans (or other crops) insurance in counties where the “Following Another Crop” (FAC) practice in not available.
