Minnesota growers who’ve been plagued by wet conditions this harvest season are starting to look at the possibility of storing their soybeans due to the price and the trade war impacts. University of Minnesota Extension Soybean Agronomist Seth Naeve says soybeans at 15 percent or greater moisture levels won’t store well and will likely be docked heavily at local elevators. He says the conditions vary across the state.

He says it’s critical growers keep their beans segregated in order to avoid price dockage and other problems.

Naeve says drying soybeans is another issue.

Naeve says corn is another story and is very wet so it’s going to take a lot of propane to get the corn out and dried.
