A Purdue University agronomist says the growing season for soybeans has been unusual with both wet and drought conditions.
Shaun Casteel, extension soybean and small grains specialist, says August and September will “make or break” soybean.
“If we don’t get the moisture here in August, we’re going to have a crop that’s just not going to retain as many pods,” he says. “Eventually if we have the heat and the dry conditions, we’re going to start losing leaves and you can’t recover fully from that.
