Soybeans Deserve Careful Attention for Profitable Planting
The Iowa State College farm crops department notes soybean seed remains scarce as demand rises and prices stay high around seven to eight dollars. For hay or seed, plant in 32 to 36 inch rows using thirty to forty pounds per acre, with equipment adapted for larger seed cells. Drilling sixty to ninety pounds per acre can work on weed-free land, though costs rise. Varieties vary by purpose with Ito San Chestnut Early Brown Manchu Black Eye brow Elton and Roosevelt among those maturing widely, while Medium Yellow Mongol mature later and may fail in extreme northern areas.
