Final day, yesterday, of field work in 2025. Just finished before the monsoon rain started. Harvesting late planted, "double crop" soybeans for a @Jamie_Larsen project.

@ElroyCober That’s quite the visual difference. Are the pubescence density similar between the two varieties?
English

@LeanderCampbell @waynekblack It is often the case that natto soybeans have narrow leaflets but not all natto soybeans have narrow leaflets and not all narrow leaflet soybeans are natto types.
English

SOLVED! These are Natto soybeans. Thanks to @waynekblack for pointing me in the right direction.
English

South of The Soo and spotted this field. Looked like soybeans to me except the leafs seem overly pointed. Then upon closer inspection I’m not sure. A specialty variety perhaps? #cropmap25 #ontag #cdnag

🇨🇦 A titan of soybean breeding! Istvan Rajcan of @uofg has won the @NAPlantBreeders Public Sector Impact Award. 69 varieties. 103 papers. 48 grad students trained. His germplasm feeds Canada and Europe. OAC Wallace is his masterpiece. hubs.li/Q03n-kSs0

@TerryDaynard @jzantinge2 It wasn’t great for US sourced soybean cultivars either, with their lack of cold tolerance. It was, however, responsible for the project that funded my postdoc with Harvey Voldeng in Ottawa.

@jzantinge2 1992 was a horrible year for many Ontario corn farmers who faced the prospect of either dealing with 40%-moisture, low-test-weight corn harvested in late autumn/early winter, or dealing with crop insurance staff overseeing the destruction of unharvested fields in that condition.

@MiladEskandari_ It is floating around in the program. I have not done any deliberate introductions.

@ElroyCober May I ask about the source(s) of semi-determination genes?

@phhermans Beyond weed control, are you chasing the extra 1/2 bu per acre per day with longer season beans and planning to desiccate?

Hey Ag Twitter looking for your thoughts on using pre harvest desiccants on soybeans? Likes? Dislikes? How fast it works -harvest days compared to none desiccants? Any others tips.. seeing an interest our way and looking for experience views. Thanks in advance ! #ontag
