Sun filled season produces soybeans
As a general rule, Upper Midwest farmers received an overabundance of rain this season, leaving some early planted soybeans with sudden death syndrome. But in many areas, in northern Illinois, for instance, early planting resulted in an early harvest in contrast to last year. Don Huftalin, who farms with his son Bert near Malta, Illinois, seemed to take pleasure having to often empty his combine hopper because of soybean yields that are better than they have been for many seasons. “Let’s face it,” Huftalin told Brownfield, while talking about his crop this past week, “we’re out here harvesting sunshine, and the earlier you plant it, the more sunshine we’re going to harvest.”
