Harvest readiness and soybean planting guidance for Morgan County
County agents urge farmers to ready combines before harvest and clean them to remove up to 100 pounds of trash from previous crops. Soybeans for oil and meal emerge as a key Morgan County cash crop with Dorman Ogden and Lee varieties advised for planting after May 1. Plant two or more varieties with differing maturities and follow soil test recommendations or apply 400 pounds of 0-14-14 per acre if no test was done.
