80Y BEANG PLANTING THEM
It takes a better farmer to make a success of soy beans than cow peas. It requires more intensive preparation of the seed bed to destroy weeds and secure a uniform stand. Shallow planting prevents crusting and gives seedlings a chance to emerge before a hard crust forms. Soy bean plants grow erect and need cultivation to compete with weeds. better farmers should grow soy beans, while poorer farmers should study intensive tillage and seeding before planting beans.

The wood type costs about 1.00 per ton capacity and is cheap to build, while concrete silos cost 2.50 to 3.00 per ton and last indefinitely.
