SYNOPSIS

First crop soybeans range from beginning to set seed at R5 to some fields still in late R2 just starting to think about putting out pods. Double-crop soybeans are in R2, full of flowers.
Some corn is full dough stage and starting to firm up kernels but not quite to R5 yet. Later planted corn is still transitioning from the blister to the milk stage, R2-R3.
