Martinsville, Ohio | Sounds iffy in sandy soil unless you can get them up and a few inches of rain on them! I got 42 bu in 04 and 24 last year and without the Hurricanes it would not have been worth harvesting.
Your info sounds just like ours:
Soybeans – Double-cropping obviously means planting later than if the crop was a full-season crop but Fjell "strongly suggests" farmers use the same soybean varieties they would for full-season fields. He recommends beans from the mid-3 to early-4 maturity group in Kansas.
Those seeds, too, should be in the ground by the end of the first week in July, he said, adding that drilling is the preferred method of planting – again for moisture conservation and weed-inhibiting reasons. Lodging is not such an issue in soybeans.
Fjell recommends a seeding rate of 130,000 to 160,000 seeds per acre when double-cropping with soybeans – about the same as for a full-season crop.
