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.

47 votes • Final results9-23-26 update. Corn harvest is at a standstill and less than 5% done in SE Iowa with measurable rain falling for 10 days in a row. Fields are muddy. Corn moisture hasn’t moved much lower in the past 10 days either. Corn might not get near as dry as the past couple of years??? Yield reports from 190-260 bpa so far.
