In a bean pod
• Twenty-two out of the past 23 years, the 50-percent-Wisconsin soybean-planting progress date was attained May 13 to May 30.
• A one-day delay in the 23-year Wisconsin soybean 50-percent-progress date was related with a yield decrease of 0.45 bushel per acre.
• The 23-year historic-average date for Wisconsin soybean 50-percent-planting progress was May 24.
• Wisconsin soybean growers who reached the 50-percent-progress date 11 days earlier than the 23-year average of May 24 would have potentially gained 3.6 bushels per acre in yield.
