Currently, most of Ohio is experiencing abnormally dry to exceptional drought conditions (U.S. Drought Monitor), which can bring along additional challenges during harvest.
Results for the 2023 Ohio Soybean Performance Trials are available for Henry, Sandusky, and Clinton County: https://stepupsoy.osu.edu/sites/hcs-soy/files/N1%20N2%20S2.pdf We will continue to update this report as additional locations are harvested.
Green stems on mature soybean plants may be the result of a source/sink problem. If there are a limited number of pods (sink), there are fewer places for the plant’s photosynthates (source) to go.
