Ontario farmers plant soybeans after wheat harvest Wednesday, July 18, 2012 by BETTER FARMING STAFFSome Ontario farmers who grew winter wheat are trying for a second crop this year by planting soybeans following winter wheat harvest.Horst Bohner, Ontario Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs soybean specialist, says the planting is relatively small, “probably less than five per cent.” Given that about 650,000 acres were planted in winter wheat last year, that could mean about 30,000 acres of soybeans have gone in late this year in response to the crop’s dramatic rise in price. Soybeans are trading at more than $15 a bushel.Bohner says farmers can expect 15 to 20 bushels per acre after a late planting, ”if everything goes right.” BF Proposed Growers Requested Own Use regulations clamp down on uncooperative companies Ontario association lauds traceability funding
