Early planting can significantly increase soybean yields, but it comes with both advantages and risks. Bill and Jeff discuss the importance of planting timing, the impact on pod and node development, and essential management strategies such as weed control and seed treatments.

Topics Covered:
• Importance of early planting in maximizing yields
• Historical planting trends shifting toward early soybeans
• Effects of planting date on plant development stages
• Recommendations for seed variety and treatments
• Strategies for effective weed management
• Considerations of risk vs. rewards when planting early
