how many pods on the soybeans ?

Checked one field yesterday....generally either side of 40 pods. Last year, made 49 bpa....similar pod count. Would be more than happy with anything close this year- tough weather. See from 2-4 beans per pod, but many are BB size. True test is measuring the bin.....just like believing Uffda (USDA) reports.......yield always drops from May til Dec.
 
maybe I should pull more plants . honestly I am used to findin 30 to 70 pods too ..forgive me guys ,, its hard to conceal my pleasure ...3 branchy plants had over 100,, one actually had 163,,albeit a dozen near the top are only 2 beans ,,, serveral 4 bean pods on all plants... these beans are in 30 inch rows planted in crosshatch diagonal to retain water and stop erosion...
 
150,000 ppa drilled 7"rows knee to chest high 50 to 90 pods per plant some have 7 three bean cluster to a groupe. all three bean pods. beans are very thick and going down. just got 4"rain two days ago.
