Day two of harvest 2026. @badgercropguy is harvesting from our long-term rotation study. @hebeltaina is working on some data from these trials where we see no yield stability differences between long-term conventional versus notill soybean yields!
First soybeans of the year are coming off for the UW BeanTeam! @badgercropguy harvesting our @WISoyCheckoff funded N rate x cover crop termination experiment planted April 22nd with a 2.2MG bean. Plots are running 94 bpa and 13.9%.
With the increase in high oleic soybeans in WI we are starting a trial to look at how do they fit into an intensified dairy cropping system. Cover crops and forages going out after corn silage and fall manure to be followed by soybean! Stay tuned!

Adding a spring nitrogen treatment to some of our cereal rye cover crop following corn for grain research trials to increase biomass prior to termination. @WISoyCheckoff funded @badgercropguy
