Podding beans

We went to tour a few soybean fields yesterday.  Most fields are podding now and have some at least around the bottom of the stem.  (They flower and pod from the bottom up.)  The earliest beans have pods all the way up the stem now.  The pods are still pretty flat, but they look great.  The last soybeans planted are still flowering and should be putting pods on soon.  Quentin has been out scouting for podworms.  They have been spotted in some fields around the area already this year.  Last year, we sprayed for them and may have to again this year.
