2. Collect Data Accurately
Is this your first year collecting harvest data? Whether you're a beginner, a seasoned pro, or somewhere in the middle, remember your harvest data is merely a snapshot of the 2020 crop season. Think of this year's data as a great starting point and see how your management practices pay off. Then, keep building on this knowledge with even better data in the future.
Tips for Capturing and Using Harvest Data
At this point, your goal should be to protect yield potential by managing harvest order effectively.
4. Soil Sample Before Tillage

5. Weed Control
This year, marestail has been problematic in some soybean fields. The best way to control marestail is when it is still small in the rosette stage. Once the stem starts growing and elongating, it is nearly impossible to control post-emerge. Fall burndowns are very effective at controlling marestail in your field.

6. Plan Ahead
It's never too soon to start planning for next year. Maximizing a crop's yield potential starts with plant nutrition. While it's still fresh in your mind, think about what you can do to ensure next season's crops get off on the right foot.
