There are 21 fields enrolled in the Soybean Research Verification Program this year and they range from just planted to R3. Rainfall was scattered last week with some of the fields receiving a good rain while others received nothing. Irrigation has been started on some the fields while others are being prepared for irrigation. Weed control has been a challenge this year, but we have the fields relatively clean now. Insect and disease pressure hasn’t been a problem so far.
