A southwestern Wisconsin farmer says there is no secret to growing 108-bushels of soybeans per acre. Kevin Bahr from the Belmont area tells Brownfield doubling the state yield average is a combination of Mother Nature and management. “There are just a lot of little things that get us there. A lot of it I’m going to say is just timing. We’ve got to have them planted in April.”
Bahr says he’s planting 120 to 130 thousand plants per acre and getting a stand of around 110 thousand plants per acre. His farm is mostly silt loam soil with a two to six percent slope.
