Cover Crop Planting Dates in Soybean & Corn Rotations: Lessons Learned from Year One of ISA-Funded Study

This Illinois Soybean Association funded project, lead by Nathan Johanning of Illinois Extension, reveals insights from the first year of a cover crop planting date study. The team found that lower seeding rates of early-planted cereal rye cut seed costs and had similar biomass. Late planting still offered good growth into mid-Nov and maximizing biomass by delaying termination until maturity showed no yield reduction in soybeans in most cases.

Achieving High Yield Soybeans While Protecting the Soil

At the recent Soybean Summit, Chris Weaver, a farmer and agronomist from Maryland, discussed his experience in enhancing soybean yields while protecting the soil. With his success of reaching 158 bu/ac on non-irrigated land, his goal is to grow 200+ bushels of no-till, non-irrigated soybeans. Listen here for his full presentation.
