Dave if you only have a few inches of snow then you can run the soybeans in the snow. Any more than that and you done until the snow melts. I have ran soybeans with snow in them. I had the best luck after dark or on cloudy days. If the sun shines it will warm the machine and plants up enough that you will have trouble. This next week it is going to get very cold here. IF you only have a few inches of snow I would try to run the beans when we get these sub zero days/nights. When it is real cold and the machine is cold the snow will blow out just like dirt/dust. If the sun warms the pods at all then they will stick to the snow and you will plug the sieves.
Now as far as the snow hurting the soybeans themselves. It usually does not damage the quality of them this early. Later in the season if they have been under snow all winter they can mold. The biggest concern I would have is pod shell. When the pods goes from wet to dry or wet to frozen they will eventually split open and drop all the beans on the ground. I have never had soybeans last until spring. They usually are shelled out by late January or early February around here. So I would try them ASAP even if you have snow. If you wait too long you will get nothing. They will NOT stand until spring in snowy and freezing weather.

One of the great things about working on a tractor engine with your other half is that you know what he is thinking of at all times and can anticipate his every move and his next thought of what he will do. With Ben, anyway, I can tell! He'll be busy working and I�m handing him tools and he says, "give me that..." and I�ve already got it in his hand or "hand me that....."and I�ve got the portable light right where he needed it placed to see.
