Michigan soybean farmers saw checkoff dollars at work during a field day Thrusday.
Research director Mark Seamon with the Michigan Soybean Committee tells Brownfield this year growers have experienced extreme wet and extremely dry conditions.
“In some places, it’s been pretty good, but some of those dry areas turned wet overnight so some of those folks are having to deal with the dry conditions early, then turning into some disease problems like phytophthora and maybe some sudden death syndrome started at that time, so now dealing with those,” he explains.
