  7. Curtis Fountain – Soybean Extension South East North Carolina • Expected Crop Yield: 2.72 MT per hectare • Normal Crop Yield: 1.84 MT per hectare • USDA State Average: 1.94 MT per hectare • Harvest on time • Planting is up because of high input cost for other crops and poor corn crop last year. (Soybean are one of the lower input cost crops.) • Planting period in late June early July was very dry. Some fields have plant stand problems in certain areas. However, if the plants came up, they are now doing very well. • Light on rain for the year, up to 17 inches below normal in some areas. But the month of August, during pod fill season, the area received significant rains every week. As a result we are expecting a tremendous soybean crop.

  8. Al Wood – Soybean Extension North East North Carolina • Expected Crop Yield: 3.06 MT per hectare • Normal Crop Yield: 2.44 MT per hectare • USDA State Average:1.94 MT per hectare • Harvest on time • Had plenty of rain for the crop to develop. Very little stresses. Low diseases, insects or heat. For those reasons, we will have a great crop. • As good as a farm average anywhere in the state. • Highest average yields in the state due to soil and growing conditions.

  9. Report from Northeast Grain Grading Office in Elizabeth City – Judith Grimes • Soybeans are a little small but they are “lookin’ real pretty.” • Quality is very good • FM results range from .4% to 1.1% • Soybean testing for exports started September 14th
