Food-grade soybean harvest is approaching three-quarters done in the Red River Valley. SunOpta Procurement Manager Mark Halvorson tells RRFN yield depends on when the beans were planted. “It seems like anything that was seeded earlier, mid-May, has done really well. Stuff seeded after that seemed to have trouble the whole year. There was weed issues. The frost really seemed to nip the top end on the later seeded varieties and take some of the yield off. There was some aphid pressure, but not too bad. They seemed to come on later than normal. It was almost too late by the time that they came to do significant damage.”
