Show Notes
Temple Rhodes has been toying around for years with methods to stunt his soybeans early season in an effort to attain higher yields end of season. He’s used chemistry, various timed applications of plant growth regulators, and now he’s experimenting with fertility to stunt growth. Why would a farmer want to stunt his beans? As Temple says, “We don’t sell biomass, we sell seed. We need to stunt them early because when you put a bunch of fertility into plants early, all you get is a bunch of lush biomass.” Temple is joined by Tommy Roach of Nachurs who concocted a “Bean Squasher” fertility cocktail that’s delivering results — stunted soybeans early, higher soybean yields late.
