Now that nearly every last soybean has been harvested from Arkansas fields, Jeremy Ross, Extension soybean agronomist for the University of Arkansas System Division of Agriculture, can put the harvest in perspective.
The caveat being, of...
Unpredictable rain is just one of the many challenges soybean producers face every year. However, certain soybean varieties may be better at tolerating an extended period of dry weather than others.
Researchers with the University of Tennessee Institute of Agriculture...

Larry Purcell counts on clear skies to find the genes that control drought tolerance in soybeans.
Persevering in that search, Purcell has identified regions on soybean chromosomes associated with drought tolerance, providing soybean breeders...
Widespread drought continues in Alabama, as nearly 84% of the state is in severe drought. In fact, 55% of the state’s soil and subsoil moisture is reported to be “very short.”
Even with these conditions, producers are still hard at...
Producers can graze and harvest drought-stressed soybeans for baleage and hay but need to make careful considerations before doing so, said Chris Teutsch, Extension forage specialist with the University of Kentucky College of Agriculture, Food and Environment.

More than half of South Carolina is in a moderate to severe drought and another 26% is abnormally dry, according to the U.S. Drought Monitor, and Clemson University researchers and Cooperative Extension Service agents say it is affecting crop...
Most soybean and corn likely will yield less than normal this year due to late planting and unfavorable weather during critical grain-fill periods, says University of Missouri Extension soybean specialist Bill Wiebold.
According to a Sept. 4 U.S. Department of...
Sweltering temperatures and low-moisture conditions can have a large impact on South Carolina soybeans, causing farmers to turn away from one of the state’s highest-yielding crops.
But, some Clemson researchers are studying how to develop soybean varieties that can germinate...
While plants may look healthy on top, what goes on underground could wipe out an entire crop.
That is why a team of Clemson scientists is studying soybean plant roots to understand the roots’ ability to penetrate hardpan soil and...
