Soybeans across Nebraska have come a long way since a slow, dry start to the growing season. This week on Fridays in the Field, Steve White visits Beaver Crossing to talk with Nate Quam about how recent rains have changed the crop, what farmers should be watching as soybeans move into reproductive stages, and why herbicide and fungicide decisions are becoming critical.
Quam explains why pre-emerge herbicides may still be working despite dry conditions, how BASF intentionally creates heavy weed pressure to test products, and why timely August rains could determine this year's soybean yield.
Fridays in the Field is brought to you by FNBO.
