In Mississippi soy beans are usually planted in May and harvested in September and October.
Here the soy beans are left in the field until the plants die and the bean pods are dry.
If harvested while the beans are still green, they are marketed as Edamame Beans
Last year Mississippi farmers produced 72,980,000 bushels of soy beans.

ReplyDeletenice shots..I don't have any idea on how soybean plant look like and it's great you have them captured...I will have these pics seen by my son so he will have an idea on how the products from soybeans that he loves looks like initially.

My breakfast would not be complete without my soy-bean milk so interesting to see them in the raw, that and the fact I'm a sucker for farm machinery.
