Let's connect with Golden Harvest Agronomist, Adam Mayer, to get a crop progress update from the field and to learn about the potential of bean leaf beetles in soybeans this year. The weather has been variable in his territory this spring which means that crop planting progress is also variable. Regardless of when you planted your crop, he encourages you to go out and check on the progress. Bean leaf beetle may be a potential pest this year in soybeans. Know what to look for when scouting early season soybeans.
