When I started farming 30 years ago , if I got 100bu corn yield I was happy, now yields are 175-200. However soybeans have not followed that trend, 30 years ago 35-40, now some years we get 35-40 and some years 40-46. These are average yields over the entire farm, sure test plots show yields in the 50's-60's but that is always a few rows on the best ground. Soybean yields are highly dependent on soil type, planting date, moisture, and heat, most things we have no control over. If you have "light" soil, (sandy) you are not going to get a good yield no matter what varity you plant. Talk to a couple of seed dealers and tell them about you soil type, they know that stuff, if they don't, find another dealer. They will find a variety that will work for you. We no-til here, so even if our yield is 3-4 bushels less that the neighbor's conventional tillage we are money ahead because we do at least 3-4 less field passes, that is the way I see it. Brian(MN)
