Dry weather forced most producers to temporarily quit planting soybeans last week and into this week with planting resuming in limited areas that received rains this weekend.  We are about 25% planted at this point but without enough moisture to get seedlings out the ground in many parts of the state, seeds are better off in the bag.  Stands have been uniform and look good for beans planted in late April and the first few days in May but some folks that pushed it on moisture are going to have mixed results with partially emerged stands that will need to get some rain to finish the job.  Beans that are up generally look good but are growing off more slowly.  Seed insecticide treatments should help keep insects from causing much damage to slow growing dry beans.  With wheat harvest around the corner, it looks like full season and wheat bean planting is going to overlap a lot this year just like last year.  The only difference is this year we will (hopefully) be planting more of both in May instead of in June and July.
