We've been getting pretty wet here in NW Ohio. The Blanchard River is to my north about a half mile and had now risen about 9 feet over flood stage... enough to be in my soybeans (and some neighbor's houses). We're OK right here, though our nearest town is flooded out (Ottawa, Ohio) and we're effectively blocked in by the flooded roads ( I could get out if I really needed to). Not much to be done here but wait but in the meantime, does anyone have any experience on how long fully developed soybean plants can sit in water before it kills them? This is a hundred year flood here, so obviously I have no expenerience with this. Lots to pray about these days, but if you could spare a little of it for the folks in NW Ohio... They are calling for more rain tonite.

I don't know about soy beans but I do know about tomatoes. Last year I had 1500 Plants over in the bottom, I had just staked them up, the blooms were set and there were some tiny tomatoes...then came the rain. The whole bottom flooded and the plants were under water for 24 hours---I lost every plant!

And this year! I have plants in the ground that has not received 1 drop of moisture from the heavens!!!!!

That happened around here last June. I live on a hill and I only lost a few plants, but some of the farmers lost their entire field as you did. Hal

Fully developed??? Are there leaves on plant yet? The further along they are, the better you will be. IF they survive the water, a rain to wash the dirt off of plant would be nice for you, you can harvest them with the dirt on them, but dirt is hard on equip. Harvest them as soon as possible, they will get a sour smell/rot if they are damp/wet tooo long. Good luck

When you say fully developed, what stage are they?

How far is the water up on them?

I would think the more mature they are, the better they can stand a little water. After 3 or 4 days though it sure cant do them any good.

We had that problem last year when we received 22 inches of rain in June. This year it was the exact opposite and was dry all summer. Did the flooding hit western Ohio? Hal

Yep, Hal, NW Ohio, Townwise, Ottawa and Findlay were very hard hit. Not sure of our rain total, but we got about 6-9 inches overnight one night.

If the beans are well developed, and the pods are still green they can stand a few days that way, maybe a week. If they are mature enough to be turning on there own I think they may be OK. I have seen turning beans fully dry while covered in 3" of water. Our neighbor put B52 flotation rubber from surplus on his JD 14' combine in the 60s to cut them JimN
