Day 3 of Iowa soybean harvest has brought many interesting conversations with clients on fair grading, damage appeals, scale tickets without damage grades, discount schedules, crop insurance discount factors, and a big discrepancy in what co-ops and grain elevators are charging for the damaged grain. In one instance 10% damage grain might be a 32 cent discount and a few miles away that same 10% damage is $1.00. Crop insurance claims minimal so far with yields at or above aph. If you have a high damage amount, don’t be afraid to ask for a second opinion!!

The next few weeks should be interesting here in Iowa. SBOC and damage at levels like we haven’t seen in several years. #ISUCrops

We have a field of 2.0’s and a field of 3.0’s next to each other. The early beans can usually hang pretty well but the September monsoons destroyed them. Potential disaster. Will know more this week.
A few #soybeans pictures from customers in W IA and C IA 10-1-26. Reports of rotting, mushy, and molding beans. 2-5 inches of additional rains overnight. Earliest these beans might be able to be combined will be in 5 to 7 days.
Please check your bean fields and post a picture or 2 of your pod and seed quality. Put county and state if possible.
