Swift Action to Address Low Soybean Stand Counts

May 31, 2024

DATE | May 2024

LOCATION | Imperial, NE

CROP | Soybeans

THREAT | Stand Count

MISSION | 1 2 3 4 5 6

Identifying and addressing stand count issues early is critical to minimizing yield loss and ensuring a successful growing season.

PROBLEM

The first mission revealed a significantly lower-than-expected stand count, with only 40% of the soybean field meeting the target.

RECOMMENDATION

The grower and salesman investigated the issue further and decided to replant the entire 106-acre field on June 5th.
Replant seed was purchased through a Nutrien location, ensuring a quick turnaround.

OPPORTUNITY

Retailer Opportunity
Provide fast VE soybean stand counts that drive replant decisions — influencing $60/acre in seed sales across 160 acres while strengthening advisor touchpoints and trust.

Grower Opportunity
Avoid delayed replant losses of 0.7–1 bushel per day — acting 3 weeks earlier protected 7 bushels/acre, delivering ~$79/acre in yield increase.

Planting Season

Scouting More than NDVI

Ever wonder what happens when you plant soybeans in beach sand? Agronomy Consultant with Nutrien Northern Michigan, Kerrek Griffes, previously used satellite imagery (NDVI) to scout the field, but it didn't tell the whole story showing some questionable anomalies—that's where Taranis came in.
