Walnut Grove MN USA | I prefer to count actual seeds per plant and figure losing at least 5% to shatter and harvest loss and really small seed. I have also come up with some of those ridiculously high yield estimates. Soybeans are notoriously hard to predict yield on. Do you really have 160 PODS per plant and 60,000 harvest population? Here I would be thrilled with 60 pods per plant and 160,000 harvest pop. My last estimate I had 66 seeds/plant and about 130,000 harvest pop. and used a 3000 seeds per pound and came up with about a 49 bushell estimate. | |
