Soil Best Adapted for
Growing Sow Bean Crop

If soy beans are planted on clean
soil and broadcast at the rate of two
bushels per acre, one can expect to
get from two to three tons of hay per
acre. Soil that will produce good corn
will usually raise soy beans satisfac-
torily. Soil that is too acid to raise
alfalfa or sweet clover will usually
produce a satisfactory crop of soy
beans if other conditions are good
The ground which is sown to soy
beans should be carefully worked be-
fore the beans are sown. Frequent
narrowing is necessary to keep out
the foxtail and similar grasses until
the beans get good start.
