     I have seen several soy bean fields around the central Ohio area that were harvested a couple of weeks ago that are really green with germinated beans that were left on the ground. Must have been a lot of shatter loss at the head plus there is a heavier area from the back of the combine. Way, way more plants there than were planted last spring. A couple of corn fields look about the same. Some fields that I know were harvested with green combines, if that makes any difference. Lots of bushels left on the ground. Wonder if anyone got out of the machines the see what was happening.

In our area the beans were short and podded to the ground it didn't matter what color you ran, the sickle was cutting pods in half at the ground, and you lost some on the head. In some areas the beans came off extremely dry also so there was more head lose. Just another idea of mine is when they run those green stem beans thru, and they come out the back like silage I believe more beans hang up in the chaff.

I have heard farmers complaining about the reel knocking the beans out of the pods. I seen one field that has a green path right where it fell out of the combine screens

Lot of second crop beans around here! Has been terribly dry, beans are popping out of pods before combine gets to them! Bean moisture in 7 to 8% range, besides shattering and being left in field, yield falls off due to low mixture content! Glad I no longer Farm!

Here the beans are about done for harvest, there are some late bean plantings due to the seriously wet planting season that are still green and yellowing but not all that many. Most combines been running with the heads On the Ground hard as so short with pods at grade.

Not sure where harvest rates will end up.

Probably a good idea when choosing varieties, to pick one’s with taller plant characteristics, and pods that stay on the plant longer. What good is a pod with any extra bean in it, when that pod is on the dirt?
I tried to follow the science, but it was not there. I then followed the money, and that’s where I found the science.

Tall plants I’ve seen, and they still pod all the way to the ground.   And farmers, you know, if there’s beans there they’re going to try and get them. Every bean field I’ve seen across the 2 states I’ve lived in has the field shaved off. That’s why they invented and sell flex headers with automatic floating control. I guess I don’t understand why this is a conversation. As for “hard On the Ground “, same thing. You set the firmness level of float as hard as the ground will support it. When it’s wetter and softer you have to skim a little lighter.

I have seen this out in my part of the country this year, too. I've never seen anyone cut beans this green before. I drove by one field they were harvesting yesterday and it smelled like someone dumped a bunch of fresh green beans in a blender.

Only thing I could think of is if the beans were falling out of the pods already like mentioned above. Has to be super slow going to not plug with all of that green stuff wrapping around everything in the combine.

An article i read in Successful Farming indicated there was a lot of that going around?
Granted one must be vigilant to keep their machines adjusted properly. I've never gotten beans out this early and they tested at 9%

Pretty common around here. Where you see it most is in the grain cart tracks. That pushes them in the dirt enough to make them germinate. Add a nice rain shower and the ground is green again. Corn, beans, doesn't seem to matter. Been really dry this fall or a lot of those fields would be lush. It does tend to boggle the mind that those guys don't pick up on it and try to keep more of that grain in the machine?

The two bales of wheat straw that I dragged home from "The Orange Spectacular" in Hutch have been shooting up green shoots also for the last couple of weeks.  Just WEIRD!!  Also my Lilacs have bloomed again!

We had a few white lilacs bloom a week or so ago; picked a few for the Mrs. Have had that happen a couple of times before. Wonder what causes that.

Great Greeen Reseeders, or the Big Red Replanters, of course they call Gleaners the Silver Seeders as they DO NOT Understand how to properly adjust the Cleaning system.

.

Supposed to carry a foot square ring to toss on the ground and count the grains inside to estimate machine setup.

Sometimes that helps.
