Wheat harvest and planting double crop soybeans in our area goes hand in hand. No-till planting is the fastest and easiest. Planters and drills are both used. I have seen a few people doing tillage. One of my customers thought his fields are too wet to plant. He is hoping for a few more dry days. Short moisture can be a problem even in a normal moisture conditions. Last year with the drought, many double crop soybeans did not germinate.
Crop budgets for the Southern 1/3 of Illinois suggest that the highest returns go to a rotation of Corn, soybeans, wheat, and double crop soybeans, especially on poorer soils.
