The strong price of soybeans makes it an attractive crop to plant, but it’s still a relatively new crop in North Dakota. At the Best of the Best in Wheat and Soybean Research, NDSU Extension Agronomist Hans Kandel outlined soybean management recommendations to improve yields. “If we have row spacing from 15 to 20 inches, that’s excellent. Farmers can also select a variety with an appropriate maturity, then there’s more yield potential.” Kandel said the planting date can also make a difference. “Planting as early as practically possible, with good soil temperatures and a good weather forecast, we see a yield increase.”
