It’s getting late in the year, but an agronomist says there is still time for some farmers to double-crop soybeans after wheat.
Mike Earley with Seed Consultants says double-crop beans should be planted before July 10 in the central and norther parts of Indiana and Ohio. “In northern Indiana and Ohio the days are getting numbered in terms of how soon we can get the crop in,” he says. “If you can follow the combine with the planter – there’s a good chance of getting them in on time and give yourself some opportunity to get some yield.”
He tells Brownfield variety selection is key and producers should choose as close to a full-season variety as they can for their area.
