n the crop is planted In rows. a spe-
cial arrangement may be needed to
keep the sickle bar high enough that
Il won't drag.
Cut the seed crop as soon as the
pods are ripe. At this time most OF
the leaves will have turned yellow
and many will have fallen on. You
can stack or thresh the crop soon
after cutting.
Soy beans are threshed with a com
