Southwest Iowa farmer Ray Gaesser says he’s pleasantly surprised with his soybean yields.
“We were thinking, at best, in the 50–60-bushel range,” he said. “So far, we’re averaging more than 60, which is kind of our long-term average. We’re happy with the beans.”
He tells Brownfield his area was challenged by drought conditions this growing season, but… “The 28th of August we got a really nice rain that was in time to help the beans a lot,” Gaesser said.
