<div>Producers have been noticing some discoloration when it comes to their soybean yields, and many are wondering what is going on. Some beans are browning faster than usual this harvest season. On the WHOW Morning Show Thursday, Reagen Tibbs, Commercial Ag Educator with the University of Illinois Extension, told the Hart Media Group that the compound that causes the plant to become brown is more prominent this year. He points out that many of the beans affected come from a company called Enlist; however, it is not all of them. Tibbs does not expect this trend to cause the agricultural masses to change where they source their seeds from. He notes that the browning is mostly cosmetic; however, it does cause them to be reclassified on the market. This could make them less desirable for export. The Illinois Soybean Association is looking into the discoloration to see if they can trace back where it began. He says at this time the harvest is about 95% wrapped up in Illinois and many producers are moving on to the application season. This is one of the most important sources of nitrogen for soil in Illinois. He is urging farmers to take the necessary safety precautions while doing that, like wearing personal protective equipment. We’ll have more with Tibbs in the days ahead on an upcoming blog post covering research that he heard at an international agriculture convention in Portland, Oregon.
