Seth, if you would like to start us out talking about the dry weather and what that means for soybean growth and development and yield potential.

Sure.

Thank you very much, Angie.

Yeah, I just wanted to spend a few minutes and I know not, you know, there's some folks that have been able to capture some real timely rains and some big soakers in a few cases, but there's a whole lot of the state that's still either dry or very dry.

And so there's some questions about soybean development at this time.

And so I think that's all, I think that all predicates some of the stuff that Bob will talk about related to insect management in just a second.

So Let's talk a little bit about soybeans.

But, you know, I think Seth has a feeling that, you know, even into R6, you know, we can still get some losses as resources are being moved around within the plants.

We didn't get a drop

last night.

So it's been highly variable out there.

I think, you know, the good news for crops overall is that we've kind of broken some of this, you know, long, dry spell under a high pressure.

But What is coming, there seem to be kind of poorly distributed across the state.

And there's certainly some areas that have had really heavy rainfall over several day and week period in west central Minnesota.

And then there's parts of the state that are still quite dry.

But what are your thoughts or a couple of different ways to approach this?
