Crop Talk

[Jim Meade / Iowa City]

I got started harvesting late, and after hearing generally reliable reports of beans in the 60's I hoped at least to get into the 50s.  After a start of 13 acres, my calibrated yield monitor is showing 45 bpa.  This is about average for me.  This is a late season bean.  Moisture is about 11-11.5%.

So, not all the bean yields are good.
