Soybean seed cost?

jon f mn · Oct 30, 2015

What should I expect to pay for soybeen seed? Just wondering what an average cost should be for round up ready seed.

Around 35 to 40 for 50lb.

closer to $60/bag here.

I think mine was around $60 this spring also.

I just did this math. I put 750 acres of beans in this year. Half was RR (some sts) and half was Liberty. The seed bill was a hair over $40,000. That comes out to $53 an acre. Now, some of them were treated for cold soils, so I can't tell you off the top of my head how that all works out (I've seen way too many numbers). I buy mine in the bulk bags not the unit bags. I think those bulk bags are 2500 pounds. That's sticks in my mind at least.

I'll also tell you that I picked up the checks from the elevators (I'm half done cutting) and it paid off the seed and spraying. I sure hope that last half yields well. We don't get the yields many do. I have had a couple hit 50 bpa and was pleased.

$25 a bag for Jakes public variety you can save.

(quoted from post at 02:36:10 10/31/15) $25 a bag for Jakes public variety you can save.

I'd say to figure $50 a bag. then if you want treated seed it will be more. I know pioneer does promotions for first time seed buyers. you might check into that.
