More Wisconsin farmers are reporting better yields from their short-season soybean varieties this year. One of them is Shane Goplin, who farms near Osseo. “I think that with that dry August, later maturities just weren’t mature enough and they aborted pods and the seed development wasn’t there, so we lost a lot more top-end yield on our later maturities.”
Goplin tells Brownfield he’s about 75% done with combining soybeans, and yields are better than he thought they would be but, “the seed size is small, you know, a lot of BBs this year.
