Soy Beans Growers Weigh Seed Quality in Mills County
Farmers in Mills County consider soy beans for hogging down and silage. Seed germination tests are urged for all seed lots, since tags claiming 98 percent germination often overstate viability. Varieties include Manchu Early Yellow Black Eye brow and Iio San. For silage, soy beans mixed with corn can boost protein but require careful timing and the risk of nonmaturing beans. An attachment to corn planters can improve planting results, costing about $10 to $12.
