Southeast WI | This is a drone pic I snapped on Sept 6 of 1.7 rm soybeans on the NKau field. My beans are 2.2's so weren't as far along. It's a SARE plot of covers in beans with 6 or 7 termination dates on the rye cover. In this plot there are zero rye strips, termination week before planting and then spraying out the rye about every 7 days. The goals are to see if there's a "sweet spot" to let rye grow with the cash crop before killing. The previous 2 years we bookended this issue by having no cover, killing before planting and then killing at anthesis.
Here the greener the rye the more delayed by maturity due to the covers growing with the rye. That pic you posted several days ago - were your greener rye side beans delayed in maturity? That's the case here as it was a moisture/competition issue in May that delayed beans and past two years that meant a significant yield hit.
