Green stem soybeans a nuisance at harvest

SHARE NOW

Green stem soybeans are causing headaches at harvest.

Iowa State University agronomist Gentry Sorenson says farmers have a couple options.

“You can wait until those stems dry down in general, or we can harvest it, which we should do, when the proper moisture is present. But it does make for slow progress of harvest in general.”

He tells Brownfield green stems are usually found in areas of stress and can result in fewer pods.
