Planters are rolling in Iowa. Corn is going into the ground and soon soybeans will be following. After last year, there is a lot of farmers hoping they do not have to plant in late June ever again. While timing is the most important key to having a successful year, there is much more that goes into getting your soybeans off to a strong start.
Stephanie Porter is a Soybean Product Manager with Golden Harvest and a former agronomist. She reaffirms that timing and conditions are the biggest keys to success.
The next thing you need to make sure you have is good fertility in your hybrids. The population is also key. Make sure you are getting the most out of your acres.
Porter advocates for seed treatments to give your soybeans the best start you can. She references the new Saltro product from Syngenta.
Weeds are the last big hurdle to think about. Conditions are great to get our crops off to a great start. That means conditions are right for the weeds to get off to a great start as well. Porter reminds producers that Golden Harvest and Syngenta have great weed control products available.
