An east-central Arkansas farmer says he’s expecting significant yield loss in his late-planted soybeans.
In fact, Derek Haigwood tells Brownfield he’ll be surprised if they make 30 bushels per acre. But, that’s not his only concern. “We’ve got the rest of July and August – it’ll be hot, dry and we’re worried about weed control,” he says. “And spending the money on it until the beans are large enough to touch and shade out the middles.”
He says they’ve had two July rains, and that provides a little relief and an opportunity to focus on other issues.
