Early-Planted Soybeans Are Winning : How Does This Change Your Weed Control?

More farmers across the Midwest are pushing planting dates earlier in the season to capture longer growing seasons, improved yield potential, and better crop development.

In this episode of Farm4Profit, we sit down with Eric Sherder from Corteva to talk about why early soybean planting is gaining momentum and how new genetics and herbicide systems are helping farmers manage the risks.

We discuss:

🌱 Why Early Soybean Planting Works

• Longer growing seasons and higher yield potential

• Regional considerations and soil conditions

⚠️ Managing the Risks

• Early-season diseases and pest pressure
• Insects and nematodes that can threaten early stands
• Strategies farmers use to protect young soybean plants

🧪 The Role of Seed Treatments
