The harvesting, cleaning and storing of certified organic soybeans is specified by your certification agency. Storage bins must be free of other products and used only for organic beans. It is best to purchase a separate storage bin for your organic beans. An easy technique is to wait until weeds are dead before combining. Cleaner beans equal higher prices from buyers.
Buyers usually require samples from each load supplied.
Because rye is not a good cover crop prior to corn, oats may selected instead. Freezing weather kills the oats, but stalks remain on the surface to protect the soil from spring erosion. Rotations will always be key in a properly functioning organic farm to help break up insect, weed and disease cycles, so you should always plan for subsequent crops to organic soybeans.
