Soil Consulting and Crop Consulting in Illinois. You may call it soil testing, soil sampling, or soil health management, but it is more than that. These are my daily or weekly travels in soil and crop consulting and my observations in the agricultural world.

Soybean Condition Today
We sampled mostly soybeans today. The furtherest along were in the third trifoliate. Many are in the bifoliate stage, some are just emerging, and some are yet to emerge. There are still some fields to plant, but it looks like we are over 90% done. I saw some insect feeding on the leaves, but could not figure out what was munching. Maybe bean leaf beetles. They do not tend to do economic damage at this stage.
We had flea beetles on corn, even with insecticide and BLB on beans. I consider them both yield robbers.
