University of Arkansas researchers visited Kip Cullers' contest field with the intent of documenting crop growth characteristics that would result in these yields, and study yield potential of soybeans under intensive management on a large scale with strip trials in eastern Arkansas.
Some species of insects and weeds may have benefitted from the warmer-than-normal temperatures and lack of snowfall in the state, two Purdue Extension specialists say.
Soybean cyst nematodes have the potential to cause devastating yield losses, population densities can increase very rapidly within a single growing season, and dormant eggs can survive for more than a decade in infested soils in the absence of soybeans.

Time, experience and research findings show no-till farming can boost production, prevent soil erosion and transform hayfields and pastures into viable cropland, says Glover Triplett, research professor at Mississippi State University.
Just because strip-tillers got fields stripped in the fall doesn't necessarily mean everything is fine now, says Kevin Kimberley, owner of Kimberley Ag Consulting, Maxwell, Iowa.
Strip-tilling increased soil temperatures and soybean yields vs. no-till in a 2011 Michigan study. Fall and spring strip-till treatments were compared to no-till at one location in southwest Michigan.
Many strip-tillers incorporate application of various fertilizers — nitrogen, phosphate and potash — when strips are being made. Anhydrous ammonia, a common source of nitrogen, can be toxic to germinating seeds and root systems when applied too close to the seed.
Compared to conventional tillage, Floyd, Iowa, strip-tiller Jon Gisleson says his best cornfields perform about the same with strip-till, while his poorer fields yield better.
