Hand high and use shields, second pass 2-3 hands high and no shields. 3rd pass no shields but space shovels out an inch and raise level wheel an inch to toss more dirt into row. Sort of 4th pass a 1/2 cubit high is walk rows with a hoe and pull some to get clean beans at harvest, no docking for trash. This is still done for organic Chinese Black soybeans that get twice the price as regular oil seed RR beans since they are used mostly for human consumption- Tofu, Soymilk, TVP products. Yield average in Iowa fields noted as about 2/3 yield of regular soybeans 2006 crop year. Couple other limited markets that don't like sprays and GM based seeds will have cultivating instead of spray to get the premium- but you can add chemical fertilizers to start and a couple insecticides approved.
