Local Ag Teachers report soybeans appear more in Lancaster County fields each year as farmers consider them as a forage or grain crop. University tests show cooked whole soybeans are a valuable livestock supplement, with roasting advised to remove bitterness and trypsin inhibitors.
Advice covers row spacing of 30 inches, 60 pounds per acre, eight plants per foot, planting depths of one to one and a half inches, and inoculation. Corn should precede beans with May 10 to June 1 ideal planting window. July 15 is possible but lowers yield. Target 40 bushels per acre. soil pH 6.5 to 7. phosphorus and potassium plowed in, minimal nitrogen. Weeds demand chemical or mechanical control. identify problems and consult other growers. Harvest with a grain combine. moisture limits 13 to 14 percent depending on sale or storage.
The sixth Central 4-H Tractor Club meeting on March 7 at Landis Brothers selected Ron Kreider and Dennis Shellenberger to give demonstrations at the March 14 gathering. The group approved a summer tour of Caterpillar Tractor Co. in York.
Soybeans require less soil nutrients and tolerate acidity better than corn. They can be harvested early with minimal drying, reduce grain handling, and sold above three dollars per bushel last year. They suit double cropping, improve soil nitrogen, aid cattle rations, and face strong global demand with a current short supply. Try it you’ll like it.
