When it comes to increasing soybean yield, University of Illinois plant physiology professor Fred Below has two words of advice — plant early.

In his presentation earlier this month at the Ontario Agricultural Conference, Below shared data from eight years of trials that show growers in Illinois lose almost half a bushel (0.47 bu/ac) for every day planting is delayed after April 23. On this episode of RealAgriculture's Soybean School, he shares how this data and a growing understanding of soybean vigour and resilience is convincing many Illinois growers to plant soybeans before corn.
