Summary:

Four different maturity groups (MG; 0.06, 0.08, 0.2, and 0.4) of soybeans were planted on April 27, May 6, May 18, and May 29 under dryland condition. Significant damage due to a significant predatory deer grazing (see photo). Thus, there are no data shown this year. For the previous year soybean planting date outcome, please refer to the online reports, https://agresearch.montana.edu/nwarc/annual-reports/2020_annualreports/2020_SoybeanPlantingDate.html
