Growth in Action: What’s Happening with the Soybean Plant Now
Rachel Vann breaks down how early soybean vegetative growth builds the engine that powers pod and seed development later in the season.
Replant or Ride It Out? Early-Season Soybean Decisions
Dr. Rachel Vann and Stephanie Porter share early‑season soybean recommendations, from planting‑time choices to replant decisions shaped by shifting spring weather.
The “Soy” What of Later-Planted Soybeans
IL Soy Envoy Jamie Horton explains how later‑planted soybeans can still push big yields with the right management strategies.
Controlling the Controllables: Pre-Planting Decisions That Drive Soybean Yield
IL Soy Envoy Scott Krone shares research backed data on how planting date, genetics and maturity group selection can have a greater impact on soybean yield than stand density alone.
Managing SCN for the Long Haul: Lessons from a 12-Year Minnesota Study
A 12-year Minnesota study shows how quickly SCN can build, adapt and reduce yield potential in continuous soybean fields, even when resistant varieties are used.
Studying Soybean Yield with Applied Fertilizer After a Cover Crop
After three years, soybean yield dipped slightly after a cover crop, and added fertilizer improved yield in only one of three locations.
Stephanie’s Top 10 Things to Do After Soybeans Experience a Cold Snap
Following a recent cold snap, Stephanie Porter outlines agronomic considerations to accurately assess soybean cold injury, evaluate stand viability and make informed replant decisions.
Misconceptions in Early Soybean Growth Stages
Rachel Vann explains when low stands justify replanting, why uneven emergence rarely reduces yield and why nitrogen at planting seldom pays in soybean systems.
Bean Leaf Beetles and Evaluating Risk in Early-Planted Beans
Early-planted soybeans can face greater risk from bean leaf beetles, but IL Soy Envoy Matt Montgomery explains how field conditions and economic thresholds determine when feeding warrants treatment.
