In 2020, South Dakota producers planted 4.95 million acres of soybeans, accounting for 30% of the stateâs total planted acres. Soybeans are a major commodity for South Dakota in terms of both acres planted and sales value. This month SDSU Extension will spend a full week on soybean production during the Crop Hour webinar series.
âSoybean week will cover all of areas of pest management, from weeds to disease and insect control,â says Adam J. Varenhorst, Assistant Professor and Extension Field Crop Entomologist. âIn addition, the week will cover soil fertility management and look at best management practices when selecting a variety and planting date.
