The Kansas experiment station collected reports from 270 farmers across 7 counties about soy beans in 1900. 149 found the crop profitable, 44 favorable but needing trade, 34 unfavorable, and 35 considered a total failure. many successful growers used corn-ground preparation methods, early planting, and grain drills. Yields ranged from near zero to 31 bushels per acre, with most between 12 and 20, while extreme weather and rabbits curtailed the season.
Utah farm experiments show pasture alfalfa and mixed grasses can boost pig gains when combined with grain and skim milk byproducts.
