About the size of a small lima bean
The soybean plants may look the same but look closer. The soybeans in the pods are growing. In fact, the beans are green and about the size of a small lima bean. We’re still about six weeks away from harvest.

In less than a week, the soybean pods have had significant development. While they are still very immature, we can definitely count an exact number of tiny soybeans in each pod.
The largest soybean pods are 1.5-inches long. Keep in mind the pods develop from the bottom of the plant to the top so the nods on the top of our plants are not showing any pod development yet but give them time.
Small pods developing at the base of the plantsPods compared to a penny!Field continues to look GREAT!
