How do your soybean yields compare to your corn yields? If you’re not a corn farmer, where do soybeans fall in your rotation in terms of profitability?
I start with these questions because I don’t talk to many farmers that say soybeans are their favorite crop, their best crop, their most profitable crop, or their most fun crop.
What if you could change that? That’s how we looked at it on our farm. Corn yields were going up but beans weren’t keeping pace . . . until they were.
Here are the things we were willing to change on our farm to make soybeans a highly profitable crop that has been much more fun to grow.
