Farm Journal Test Plots find rolling soybeans early gives them time to bounce back
On-farm test plots can help you identify the best hybrids for your ground
For more than a decade, the Farm Journal Test Plots has varied corn populations and nitrogen rates to respond to natural management zones in the field. In 2012, the crew added variable-rate irrigation to its site-specific farming portfolio.

More than 20 years of Farm Journal Test Plot research has revealed a thing or two about corn and soybean row spacings—and the learning continues.
Deciding where to place N—in the middle of the row with a coulter or next to the plant using Y-Drop—involves the following considerations:
