In Franklin County this week, I found a couple of soybean fields in full flowering (R2), despite being shin-knee high. Beans in this area vaulted straight into flowering at only V5–V6, since days have started shortening after the solstice. Most double-crop beans are in the ground and at VE–VC.

On the corn side, I have seen one field tasseling — it must have been an atypical field that got planted in April. Most corn fields are still vegetative (V9–V10), with no sign of tassels yet.
