Mukden Briefly Tops Manchu as Iowa Soybean Choice
Iowa State College agronomists report Mukden is becoming the state’s most popular soybean variety. Its sturdy stem resists lodging better than Manchu, making it favored by combine owners, with seed supply expected cheap this spring. Mukden matures earlier in some areas, boosting demand in north eastern Iowa, though yields are not superior to Dunfield Manchu or Micie. The soybean production center is shifting toward the north central Wisconsin drift area.
