The Pioneer Revolution Plot at Gwinner, North Dakota is evaluating soybean planting dates. Soybeans went into the ground May 1st and 15th. Another round will be planted June 1. Pioneer field agronomist J.J. Jaehning says a case can be made for planting soybeans before corn. “We’ve learned a lot in the last few years about how hardy soybeans are, especially in regard to frost,” said Jaehnning. “The soybean plants have that thick, fleshy cotyledon which is stronger in tolerance to frost than corn would be. There’s a lot of early planted beans that look phenomenal this year.” Jaehnning is featured in the latest edition of the Pioneer Agronomy Update.
