The average U.S. soybean yield for 2014 is now estimated at the record level of 46.6 bushels per acre, which is an increase from the August USDA estimate of 45.4 bushels per acre.
The seeding rate for soybeans varies considerably from producer to producer. The range is from 100,000 to 300,000 seeds per acre. A major seed company recently recommended planting 200,000 to 230,000 seeds per acre. Research at Iowa State University has shown that a lower seeding rate will give top yields. reduction in seeding rate of 50,000 seeds per acre could reduce seed costs by as much as $8 per acre if the seed cost is $20 per bag and the seed size is 2,500 seeds per pound. The savings per farm could be significant if a large number of acres is planted.
