Soybean seed quality

Farmers in Minnesota and the Dakotas raise some of the highest-quality soybeans in the world.  Since the majority of soybeans grown in this region are bound for markets around the world,  delivering a quality product with limited foreign material is essential.

Managing foreign matter and keeping soybeans clean is a multi-pronged approach:

• Weed management -  use approved herbicides judiciously and other weed management tactics to keep fields clean from planting through harvest. 
• Harvest - use proper combine settings to keep foreign material out of the hopper and harvest at the proper moisture content to reduce splitting and cracking.
• Storage - monitor grain bins and aerate to keep soybeans in condition.
