Winterset, Iowa | Once the plants have started to turn yellow, they are shutting down so I doubt more moisture will help. To KF Farm, the reason the Kansas guys probably ran there pivots just before harvest was to put some moisture back into the bean seed. If beans get below 10 percent it's nice to get a rain and swell them back up. Water adds weight. Also reduces shatter when combining. I know all you good farmers know this already, just trying to explain it to the few guys on here that might not be farmers.
