Soybean variety timing affects harvest yields in Hempstead county
Hempstead county growers advise hedging against weather by splitting soybean acreage between early and later maturing varieties. In 1961 early maturing types Hil Dearman Dortich produced exceptional yields versus later maturing ones, while longterm data show midseason varieties like Lee Hood Ogden and Jackson often underperform early types. However trends suggest planting more later varieties may boost multiyear yields despite earlier gains from early maturities.
