Hawkeye soybeans outperformed expectations in Iowa in 1949 across farm and yield tests. The variety averaged 31.8 bushels per acre versus 31.4 for Lincoln, according to C. R. Weber, Iowa State College agronomist and Hawkeye developer, who noted Lincoln previously outyielded Hawkeye in some years.

Hawkeye soybean variety eyed as replacement for Richland
In central Iowa Hawkeye yields near Lincoln, while in southern Iowa it may top Lincoln. Hawkeye matures earlier, resists loss, and farmer acceptance is high. Weber notes Hawkeye accounted for 17 percent of Iowa acreage in 1949 with potential 15 to 30 percent growth in 1950, possibly 40 percent. Hawkeye aims to replace Richland across northern Iowa and parts of the state where late planting is likely.
