[Scene opens with a shot of a soybean field and Soymasters badge. Text overlaid “What can you do when your crop gets hailed?”. Guitar music plays in the background. Scene switches to Doug Fotheringham (Agronomic Service Representative) standing in front of a soybean field.]
DOUG: Hi my name is Doug Fotheringham I'm an Agronomic Service Representative for Syngenta based out a south-central Manitoba. 
[Scene switches quickly between a shot of rows of soybean plants with dark soil, a closeup of soybean plant leaves, a shot of a large soybean field, and then to Doug standing in a field holding a soybean plant. Scene again cycles quickly through low level shots of space between soybean plant rows, a shot of tops of plants blowing in the wind, and then back to Doug.]
DOUG: One question I often receive is: What do I do with my plant stand after I've received a hail event? The initial assessment is quite often fairly, fairly scary. It's fairly crucial the time of year that it happens and so if it happens fairly early in the season, generally speaking, soybeans have the potential to recover from that. When soybeans are still in the vegetative state they have the ability to put on new branches and that's why we see that recovery comeback. When we get a later season hail when we're into that R stage and later on they've already kind of decided basically what they're doing in terms of yield potential, especially after R3.5, and so if we get hail after that stage sometimes we're limited on what we can do. 
[Scene cycles quickly through a closeup of soybean plants blowing in the wind, Doug standing in the field speaking to the camera, a low level shots between soybean plant rows, an image demonstrating leaf material on the ground after a hail storm, a closeup shot of white mould on a soybean plant, and back to Doug.]
DOUG: If we're looking at an early season hail, if we're first say fifth trifoliate, patience is really the key there. Typically what a soybean plant will do is put on some new axillary stems from the axillary buds typically where the unifoliate are. It does have the ability to put on branches elsewhere too but that's something that you would see typically from a bean crop. And the yield potential on that crop has has probably been slightly reduced but still decent yield potential there for sure. There isn't a lot that you do. You want to understand how much defoliation that you that you have and try to get an assessment on that. But now that we've got all that leaf material on the ground, that's going to start decaying. And once you have that material underneath your canopy that usually promotes some disease - white mould would be one of them. You've also got a lot of open lesions on your stem and your leaves that would have the potential to introduce that disease into the plant. 
[Scene switches between a shot of a soybean field recovering from a hail event, a closeup of soybean plant leaves blowing, and back to Doug standing in the field speaking to the camera.]
DOUG: And so that is a time when a fungicide application may be warranted on a soybean crop just to help suppress some of the the disease that's building from underneath in the canopy and also to try and get a little bit of protection on those open lesions on the plant. More often than not, an early season hail event recovers fairly well. It's just a little bit more concerning when we get it in later season. And that's maybe when we can look at potentially putting on a fungicide to help minimize the amount of disease that's going to come into that plant.
