Drought is affecting Missouri’s soybeans

The new soybean agronomist with University of Missouri Extension says the drought is starting to show in soybeans.

Andre Reis tells Brownfield the conditions are affecting early soybean development.

“At this point, we would expect soybeans to have a full canopy, but that’s not what’s happened in Missouri. That could translate into a reduction in yield potential.”

He says the soybeans are also flowering earlier than usual due to the dryness.
