NDSU Extension ag engineer Ken Hellevang recommends leaving frosted soybeans in the field longer to improve color. “When the soybeans are frosted before they reach the nice golden color, the question is will they continue to change color in the field or will they continue to change color in storage? Our experience is it’s better to leave the soybeans in the field, exposed to sunlight,” said Hellevang. “If we put green soybeans in the grain bin, they will have some color change, but it will be a much slower process over several months.”
