[QUOTE="California, post: 7415283, member: 23802"] We have grown soya (a variety called Siverka) for the last four years along with a neighbour. 2020 was the last. They are great in theory but the last two years we have had to combine them in November and it's been touch and go as to whether we would even get them in the shed. Last year we got them but due to the harvest conditions and basically having to combine them at stupid percent moisture we had to spend lots of time and money drying them. It was a real hassle and though they were spread out thinly on a heated drying floor we struggled to get them to keep. There were sizeable deductions for pod etc. in the sample. The first year we harvested them in mid October, the second year it was late September which wasn't bad at all (shame about the yield). Generally 1-1.2t/ha has been the norm though we have had up to 2t/ha on invdividual fields. We have also had complete crop failures on individual fields. Last year they looked really well but disappointingly only yielded 1t/ha Often we have had the problem of dry conditions at drilling which has made them slow to get away and then the pigeons cane them. Maybe further south they have more potential and there is a lot to like about them in theory but after 2 years of mid-November combining for us we wont be trying them again in a hurry. They have been anything but easy to harvest. [/QUOTE]
