Soybean planting has begun in my area. Seeding populations were increased 5% to 10% due to lower germination from last year’s dry harvest. There is some concern about winter annuals emerging strongly, especially in fields that did not receive a fall burndown. Previous cool temperatures, along with recent windy conditions, have hindered herbicide burndown applications.
