NDSU Extension Soybean Pathologist Wade Webster describes the state’s soybean crop as highly variable. “Some portions of the state have a really great-looking soybean crop, but in other areas, especially in the Red River Valley, we’ve been seeing a lot of pod abortion because of the high temperatures,” he said. “Our soybeans are just not bred to deal with 100-degree temperatures, so yields in some of our most productive ground may not reach the levels we’re used to seeing.”
