Soybeans Gain Ground Among Lancaster County Farmers
Lancaster County farmers increasingly plant soybeans as a low cost high energy feed. Brunnerville farmer Paul B. Kline recalls starting four years ago with two acres and a 30 bushel yield, later steam flaking to improve feed. A Lititz dairy farmer reports 60 bushels per acre on 45 acres last year, with extruded beans boosting milk yield. Experts note May 15 planting, warm soil, and seed availability as key factors for expansion.
