Soybeans - Pic Heavy

[SASKFARMER3]

Restons are my best. But funny I have thicker nodes but field was soy before only one app of seed treatment.

Observations.
Klause did you run out of seed before you were able to finish the headland on the left side in that one drone picture? Are the yellow(ish) spots the one picture moisture stress(too much)? Seems in the one close up the pods are nice and high(for soybeans) above the ground. How much more time needed to make it a bin buster? Are they indeterminate and will only be shut down by frost?

[Klause]

No. That pass was for turnaround and cleaning out the drill. I'm working it down along with a 4 ft strip between varieties. I'll take drone pics again after.

The yellow areas are wet spots from years past... they are compacted... Beans are extremely sensitive to compaction much more so than our small grains an pulses. They have now all turned dark as the roots forced their way through.


They will either shut down when they reach their genetic potential or if the season isn't long enough they will shut down when the days get shorter in fall.


If we stay frost free till September 5 these will make one heck of a crop.

The crop tour people in the US next week say if their boots have mud on them from walking the fields they'll confidently boost yield prospects. Would the same apply here?

We received 4 in of rain in August .Usually makes for an exciting bean crop. Our best crop 2 years ago hit 45 with almost no rain in august.

Tell us how the do on October 31 when all is in the bin.

Ours are about the same maturity - they will be in the bin before Oct 31 st , so will his .
