Soybeans: 62.7 bushels per acre west of Kenton

Posted by Fred Steiner on Monday, October 14, 2013

The weather has cleared and the machines are in the fields again. Today I had my first experience doing a yield and quality check for the Ohio Soybean Association.  A farmer west of Kenton was running a field of food grade soybeans for the test.  The beans did well with a yield of 62.7 bushels per acre, 13% moisture, 0.2% foreign material, and a test weight of 57.1.  The soil type was Milford, and these were non-GMO beans grown in a no-till field.  Early reports had soybean yields in the mid 50 bushel per acre area, so maybe the later beans will do better.
