Stressful, late-season environmental conditions can cause issues with #Soybean pod splitting and seed sprouting in the pod. In our latest article, @arksoydoc discusses why this happens and how to prevent issues at harvest. #ScienceForSuccess ow.ly/2e0450X1ucB

Enjoyed seeing soybean #Harvest25 start off strong in VA this week with some ultra early beans. Now a nice rain would help the rest of the soybeans tremendously!

With soybean harvest starting, here is the latest data and recommendations from @AginArk for soybean harvest aids. Bottom line, don’t apply a harvest aid till R7.0. @arkansassoybean #soybean arkansascrops.uada.edu/posts/harvest/…

What a fun week to talk soybean PODcasts! Listen to #cabcast and #EasternVirginiaCropTalk for updates about the current Virginia soybean crop with @esarecsoils @KemperSutton @VT_Weeds @AgDrOakes

Growing up we played “cows in the graveyard” on roadtrips, but last night I played “deer in the soybean field” on my drive home and counted more than 50 deer snacking on #soybeans

Escaped the #heatdome in VA to talk soybean extension and eat cheese with @SoybeanScience1 in Wisconsin
