Early Wisconsin soybean experiment survived winter storm

Early Wisconsin soybean experiment survived winter storm

A Wisconsin farmer known for experimenting with early soybean planting says his test plot looks good, and he’s ready to plant the rest of his soybeans.

Ryan Nell planted a small eleven-acre field near Beaver Dam on March 3rd in what he called phenomenal planting conditions, nineteen days earlier than most of his early soybean plots.

Like most of Wisconsin, Nell received snow two weeks ago, but the beans look good so far.
