Harvesting Soy Beans in South Districts
United States Department of Agriculture notes that advances in machinery and experience reduce harvesting troubles. Soy bean hay is cut when pods half filled and cured in swaths or on hollow racks for thorough drying. Mechanical pickers harvest seed, running astride rows to knock out beans while leaving stems and hulls. pickers hold 4 to 6 bushels and require dry beans, with harvest from late October into about ten days of good weather. Waste ranges from one-twentieth to one-fourth, typically about one-eighth, and hogs consume remaining losses.
