One glaring trend I have been noticing is the lack of pods on beans during all yield checks. We are talking 200-300 pods per check. These areas should be seeing better results from the better weather during beans key reproductive stages. The Dakotas and Nebraska have been getting rain lately that Iowa hasn't. One key change has been on all acres this year--Dicamba. I believe we are witnessing huge pod and flower abortions after all the extend has been sprayed. On the dicamba resistant beans we are seeing natural yield that monsatan has claimed was breed out. Either way there is a freight train coming down the tracks with these results.


While I love to blame dicamba I instead blame the weather in May. It slowed corn growth and held back soybean emergence by at least 10 days. Corn is on schedule with maturity but I bet most of the soybeans in iowa and Nebraska are 10-14 days behind
