Thinking about planting soybeans 2 years in a row? According to AgWeb and University of Wisconsin Extension researchers, this is not a recommended practice. However, if farmers choose this route, here are 7 tips they should adopt:

1. Switch up your varieties and choose strong disease resistance traits to match already known problems in your field
2. Test for soybean cyst nematode (SCN) and choose SCN-resistant varieties – SCN thrives in multi-year soybean rotations
3. Scout fields earlier and more intensely to stay ahead of disease problems
4. Lower seeding rates in fields where white mold has been a problem
5. Maximize the fungicide rates of your seed treatments
6. Use a pre-emergence herbicide, and multiple modes of action
7. Sample soil, and replace potassium if needed
