Abstract
This chapter describes the systems and procedures for harvesting, drying, handling, and storing Soybeans (SB). These operations are interdependent and all must be carried out correctly so that the quantity and quality of the soybeans are as high as is practicable when the crop is marketed and processed. The chapter presents some recommendations for harvesting, drying, handling, and storing soybeans, along with some history, recent developments, and trends for the future. The most important property of soybeans associated with their harvesting, drying, handling, and storing is moisture content. Soybean moisture content is defined assuming soybeans consist of two components: water and dry matter. Wet-basis moisture contents are used in the grain trade and in most other instances. Dry-basis moisture contents are sometimes used in research, especially related to the drying process. The chapter highlights that all moisture contents stated in the chapter are on wet basis.
