Results from the 2017 South Dakota Soybean Yield Contest show no entry broke 100 bpa. The winner, Kory Standy, averaged nearly 92.25 bpa despite 105-degree days, hail and drought.
Irrigation helped offset some of the drought losses.
Contest results reflect drought-hit South Dakota soybean yields, a small regional supply factor with little effect on national soybean prices.
After 324 past neutral weather events, Soybeans moved a median +0.0% over 5 sessions (52% higher; middle half -1.4% to +1.7%), and +0.7% over 20.
