Two Combines Work Soybeans in Tama County
Farm editor notes soybeans cut by two harvester-thresher combines in Tama. At Cato Lundt farm near Reinbeck the Manchu soybeans yield 14 to 15 bushels per acre but clods hinder low cuts. Hog and bean use aims to salvage beans. one combine yields 15–20 acres daily. The machine, tied to Lundt’s tractor, costs 3.50 an acre, with 150 acres planned per machine. other crews operate in southern Tama. Lundt plans to repeat soybeans next year and eye a potential seed price around 2.00 a bushel.
