Growing Soybeans

[helmsdale]

Grew the 87000R2X from Thunder Seeds. Planted about the 6th or 7th of May. Looked great up until about the 20th of July. Some 4 and 5(rare) seeds in a pod. Mostly 3. Top pods aborted and plants have pretty much completely burnt down except for some low spots. Will run them through a combine in a week to 10 days. No idea on yield, but I'm amazed there's even anything there considering we've had no significant moisture since the 30th of June.

Last nights temp will have them shit down big time. They need a big August rain

We will see , it happened to us last year on one end of the field with later beans , but that was end of Aug frost that nipped them on a much later maturity bean .
Beans were maturing very well already and just filling the last of the pods .
Will be interesting with no August rains.
Lots of pods and lots of 3-4 beans in a pod . So time will tell . Every year different and very big difference between some varieties

I haven't seen any 40 BU per acre beans, not even Red River Valley. I am thinking just over 30 catches most that have had moisture. Think there will be lots less.
Was also not particularly warm, barely average at best, and that will be a factor, plus as mentioned cool nights detract from what heat we had as they need to recover.
Moisture is still the most limiting factor. and had we not had good reserves, it would be ugly.
Guys have to figure about 0.3 inches of water per day at peak times, or 2.1 inches per week. Water will be the most limiting factor.

there will 55 bu yields in the RRV where rain fell in july. other areas that missed all the rains still looking at 30 - 45 bpa, lots of sub soil moisture kept them going into pod fill.

Was up around Portage today and see lots of corn growing among the beans. Isn't there a spray for that?
