Soybean yield potential remains high for crops that have survived the heavy summer rains. During field walks, we have been seeing many 4-bean pods which is always a very good indication on positive yield. Soybeans are also on the later side when comparing them to the last 5 years. At this point last year, we had some beans delivered to the elevator already. In last week's poll, 100% of participants guessed that Harvest would be the week of September 25th or later.
Some of the beans we are walking in are showing signs of SDS (Sudden Death Syndrome), and some growth beans have white mold. At this point, there is nothing we can do to fix that, but we recommend talking to your agronomist about how to manage this through crop rotation.
Weed escapes have been a challenge in crushers and IPs. We starting to gear up for pre-harvest burndowns. If you are thinking you may want your field to be sprayed, please be sure to give us a call to get put on the list. We want to help you all avoid grading discounts at the scale for any issues with weed staining or wheat see dockage! Additionally, just a reminder to IP growers to be mindful this harvest of dirt tag. Heavy dews at dusk or dawn can stain the beans with dirt tag. Growers will have to be mindful of moisture when taking the crop off to prevent any downgrades!

We are in the midst of completing IP soybean contracts. If you have IPs in the ground, you can expect to get an email or phone call over the next few days/weeks (if you have not already), to clean up the final few pages of the contract before we get into the thick of harvest.
We want to assure all of our customers that our Alvinston elevators will be operational (post-storm) for soybean harvest, and we look forward to serving you!
