A January Farm Journal Pulse Poll resulted in 9% of farmers saying the market rally is leading them to try fungicides on soybeans for the first time. 

With the stronger markets early in 2021, Farm Journal sent a text-based poll asking “What if any impact will strong soybean prices have on your plans for fungicides applications in 2021?”

While 64% at the time said they wouldn’t change their fungicide plan, only 8% said they wouldn’t apply fungicides on beans this year, and 28% are increasing their fungicide use.
