There’s never a shortage of variability in the condition of the crop. Pioneer Strategic Account Manager Wade Gubrud covers southeast North Dakota, northeast South Dakota and a potion of west-central Minnesota. “On my northern end, the crop has suffered from too much moisture,” said Gubrud. “As we move into that Milbank (South Dakota) area, we’re not long on rain. We could use some more and there has been some drought stress.” It’s been said soybeans are made during this month of August. “Our pod count is set and the number of seeds that we’ll produce, but seed size is 30 percent of your yield.” Over the next few weeks, Gubrud says that percentage of yield is still be determined and it will depend on how the crop finishes. Gubrud was part of the Pioneer Revolution Plot Tour at Gwinner, North Dakota.
