For many Midwest growers, getting soybeans in the ground early paid off this year! Danny Greene was recently featured in Indiana Prairie Farmer, sharing two key takeaways from the 2026 growing season that growers should keep in mind heading into 2027:

Don't overlook early planting. When field conditions are right, planting soybeans early gives the crop more time to grow, capture sunlight and build yield potential.

Get your seeding rates right. More seeds don't always mean more bushels! Finding the right population for your planting date and field conditions can make a big difference.

The bottom line? A few smart decisions at planting can help set your soybean crop up for success.
