yield: hay in tons, beans in bushels

Details

Grown at West Virginia Experiment Station in 1925 & 1926.

Soy beans:

Soybeans were planted in rows 30 inches apart. In 1926 the crop was harvested for seed, 55 rows, each 232 feet long. Yields of 8-foot plats were recorded. In 1926, data for the last row on page 96 seems to be missing.

Field width: 55 plots * 30 in / 12in/ft = 137.5 feet

Field length: 28 plots * 8 feet = 224 feet + border = total 232 feet.

Odland and Garber provide no agronomic context for the yield variation.

Soy hay:

In 1925 the crop was harvested for forage, 42 rows, each 200 feet long. Yields of 8-foot plats recorded.

Field width: 42 plots * 30 in / 12in/ft = 105 ft

Field length: 24 plots * 8 feet = 192 feet + border = total 200 feet.
