According to the IL Soy Advisor, full-season soybean, and double-crop soybean and corn yields performed outstandingly across Illinois in 2016. Several factors contributed to this, including:

• Ideal soil conditions last spring, and soybean planting/emergence during this time
• Temperatures and soil moisture conditions were nearly ideal all season long
• Potassium was available all season long
• Despite an overly cloudy period, soybeans continued to produce energy and transferred it into the seed
• Harvest was timely

Maintaining the 4 Rs of environmental stewardship (right source, right rate, right time and right place) can also help produce high-yielding soybeans while protecting profit and the environment at the same time.
