Brief Project Summary:

Double cropping soybeans are a popular production practice in Southern Illinois. However, producers do not manage them as aggressively as full-season soybeans and yields are often limited. Planting an earlier variety of wheat and harvesting it earlier and at 17 to 18% moisture allows soybeans to be planted 7 to 10 days earlier, which can improve soybean yield potential as long as other best management practices are adopted. The double crop early plant system will be demonstrated and discussed at the 2015 Farm Progress Show.
