Dr. David Shaw, a soybean researcher at Mississippi State University, said yields are good across the state, except for Northeast Mississippi where farmers had to replant two or three times, resulting in planting much later than ideal. With poor root systems, plants showed more stress during drought-like conditions. Monroe County agent David Roberts said growers are facing a late season dry spell and insect pressure. At best, we're looking at a poor soybean crop this year. About 40 percent of the crop is in late beans and they are at the pod setting and filling stage.
Rain now is critical.
