Soybean Yields Down This Year

 Soybean Yields Down This Year
 
Manitoba's soybean harvest is getting close to fifty per cent complete.
 
Provincial Pulse Specialist Dennis Lange says yields this year are coming in lower than what they were last year.
 
"That's to be expected with amount of rainfall that we got this summer, especially in that late July, early August time period where moisture levels were much lower than what they were last year," he explained. "I'm hearing yields anywhere from 20's up to mid-40's, but on average we're probably going to be somewhere between 30 to 35 bushels an acre around the province."
