Over the past several years, farmers in the Midwest have been planting a greater portion of their soybean crop increasingly early each year.  In this episode, Preston and Jason discuss the results of their own research on the risks and benefits of this trend. Although we plan to return to our normal format of interviewing guest experts on ag topics in a couple of episodes, we would love feedback on the discussions of our own research.  Please contact us through the feedback link on your podcast platform or on Twitter (Jason - @NWILTDR, Preston - @prestoschrader).  Jason and Preston also share their research throughout the year on Twitter, including extensive updates on early planted soybeans.
