Well, sort of. While some growers in the central Midwest have dabbled in soybeans, corn planting remains largely on hold for now. With the start of the season, many farmers are faced with decisions that can impact their yields. With fluctuating weather patterns and varying soil conditions, timing becomes crucial. In this podcast, we’ll explore insights from agronomy managers Eric Wilson and Robby Meeker on early planting strategies for corn and soybeans, including tips on managing expectations and maximizing yield potential.
