New Book Helps Kids Connect with Soybean Farms

At a time of record-high interest in how food is produced, a new children’s picture book about soybean farming offers a valuable resource to parents and educators alike.
 
The American Farm Bureau Foundation for Agriculture’s Feeding Minds Press released a new book, today, My Family’s Soybean Farm, along with a companion educator guide.
 
This third title from Feeding Minds follows the farm adventures of Alexander, who takes readers on a tour of his family’s soybean farm, showing how soybeans are planted, grown and harvested, technology used on the farm, pest management techniques, and the many different products soybeans are used in. My Family’s Soybean Farm, geared for grades K-2, combines illustrations with real photographs and includes a glossary to explain farm tools and practices.

We have a BIG problem with our soybeans this harvest! While combining, we discovered some seriously discolored soybeans, including purple-stained and white, moldy-looking beans.

In this video, we take a closer look at the damaged soybeans, get a sample tested, and make the decision to store the questionable beans in a separate grain bin to avoid mixing them with our good crop. But will they store safely, or could we have even bigger problems ahead?

Welcome to farming in southwest Minnesota!
