Subject: Soybean harvest "not cutting low enough" update


Bow Island, Alberta
This is a follow up to a discussion from a few days ago.

I went to park the header last night and found out that a pin had fallen out somewhere since I parked it last time. As a result the header did not follow the ground as well as it should have. Wasn't any problem when cutting above the ground. So I learned something. Always easier to remember a lesson when it cost money or time!

I aslo posted another question late in the discussion, that didn't get answered. Can anyone shed light on this?

Thanks.

New question. Last year this field was in wheat and I had a couple of 3 m isolation strips in the field. These strips were chemfallowed, and not fertilized. The wheat stubble was harrowed once, then worked once last fall and then cultivated again this spring, just ahead of the drill. On these strips in this years's soybeans, they grew about 6 inches taller. Is is because of the N that was mineralized last year? Or is is because there was less straw on these strips? The soybeans were inoculated with liquid and then I added granular with the drill as well.
