Morey Hill, a soybean farmer and Iowa Soybean Association board member from central Iowa, tells the Iowa Agribusiness Radio Network that he has learned through many years of farming how to tell when his soybeans are ready for harvest. His method might not be the same as what you would read in an agronomy textbook.
Morey Hill?s farm is located just outside of Perry Iowa. Hill says that this year?s 300 acre bean crop was planted later than he would have liked due to weather conditions in the spring.
As an Iowa soybean association board member and someone who has been farming in some capacity for most of his life, Hill says that he is continually impressed by the innovations that are made in soybean genetics and planting practices.
Hill is a convert to no till farming when possible. He says that is his preferred method for soybean production.
Morey Hill recently took a trip to Cambodia to learn another way in which Iowa soybeans can be implemented in Southeast Asia.
Morey Hill is District 5 Director with the ISA, Hill has farmed part-time since returning from Army service in 1975 and full-time since 2005 on his family?s 400 acres of a row crop rotation of soybeans and corn near Perry Iowa.
