We are finally back at soybeans. Seemed like we took a month off since the last soybeans came off but it was really closer to two weeks. The ground finally hardened and snow melted to let us take off a good chunk of them. We ran three days straight, harvesting half our soybeans. Yields are pretty decent considering many of the beans were planted 30-plus days behind. Most soybeans are running in that 40- to 55-bushel range but there are some that are touching that 60- to 70-bushel range. I have even heard of some guys claiming they have had their best yields on their farms ever.
