What is the latest plant date for soybeans?

The latest plant date for soybeans is set based on risk factors such as the likelihood of crop maturity before the first frost, as well as soil and weather conditions impacting growth. For crops like soybeans, which are typically planted in late spring to early summer, the July 5 date is recognized as the point when planting generally becomes too late for the crop to reach maturity before the growing season concludes. Planting soybeans after this date increases the risk of yield loss due to inadequate growing days and potential frost damage, which is why July 5 is accepted as the latest plant date that allows for a reasonable chance of a successful harvest in Nebraska.
