Remarks
:
Straight combining is the commonly used method of harvest. Swathing soybeans can result in excessive field losses (up to 25%) due to
shattering. Approximately four beans or one to two pods per square foot represent a yield loss of “one bushel” per acre. In 2013, only five
locations of a possible 10 had soybeans that were harvestable. These locations were: Bow Island, Brooks, Fahler, Medicine Hat and Vegreville.
