Rice Farm Evaluate the performance of soybean seeding rates in large plots. Soybean Date of Planting Trial Planting dates are important for both soybean and corn crops field study to determine which crop should be planted to maximize yield of the respective crop as relates to the calendar Corn Date of Planting Trial Planting dates are important for both soybean and corn crops field study to determine which crop should be planted to maximize yield of the respective crop as relates to the calendar
