Soybeans

Kevin planted two crops this year he had never planted before: cotton and soybeans. I posted the cotton pictures earlier and here's the soybean pictures. They started harvesting the soybeans on Friday and Kevin took Madalyn and I Saturday afternoon to see them.  They are still harvesting the soybeans so I don't know yet what the final count will be.

Soybean Field

I didn't realize how little the soybean was. They are about the same size as an English pea.

The plant is picked up at the front of the combine....

and the trash comes out the back. It only keeps the beans.

Once the combine gets full, the soybeans are put into a trailer.

Kevin and Madalyn climbed up to see the beans.

Each truck can hold 1,000 bushels.  As you can see this truck isn't full yet.

That's lot of little beans to full up this truck.
