I was just out in northwestern Minnesota to visit my son who is in school out there and had occasion to walk through a soy field that had been harvested. I was amazed at how many beans were left on the ground. Is it normal to lose beans from a harvester? These beans weren't just at certain locations where beans might have been transferred from harvester to truck, but rather were random across the field. These beans were nearly as thick as winter rye when I put down rye for the winter!
  Nobody grows soy around here, so I don't know about such things, but I would say the loss was substantial, unless this was seeded intentionally for some reason.  I would say the majority of beans were harvested out there, otherwise it is a major sugarbeet production area.
