Everyone around here is hoping to not get any rain, so we can dry out to be able to plant again, maybe this weekend. There has been no planting or other fieldwork here since Mid-April. I attempted to take soybean populations and found a few drowned out spots that may need replanted. Some slower soybeans still trying to emerge in cool, wet conditions. Populations were running from 103,000 to 131,000.

Very, low bean leaf beetle feeding

Waterhemp breaking through but hopefully pre emerge will prevail. Winter annuals out and giant ragweed out of hand in fields that are too wet for burndown.

None

Possible minor wind or hail injury to soybeans
