What it Takes to Raise 100-Bushel No-Till Soybeans
Bryan Severs no-tills non-GMO soybeans and strip- tills corn across 5,000 acres in Potomac, Ill. “We shoot for 75-bushel soybeans in every field, every year, but we always play with one field to see what works and doesn’t,” he says. The 3rd-generation farmer reached new heights on one of those experimental soybean fields with a 102-bu. yield. Severs shares his high-yielding recipe, which includes early planting and the right mix of products, while disclosing his biggest eye-openers from high-yield plots that, in turn, influence how he manages his entire farm.
