Consider your climatic conditions including heat units and moisture. Soybeans require a full season of cumulative heat to mature adequately. Varieties with maturities ranging from 2350 to 2500 heat units are well adapted to the Manitoba Red River Valley while early maturing varieties (2175 to 2350 CHU) are gaining traction in southeast Saskatchewan and southern Alberta. Adequate soil moisture throughout the growing season is necessary to optimize soybean yields. Annual precipitation in Manitoba and southeast Saskatchewan (where soybeans are commonly grown) amounts to 15 to 20 inches. Maintaining
