The United States has crushed an unprecedented amount of soybeans since the harvest began last fall, but there have not been as many buyers as processors had hoped for, and this could end up burdensome on domestic soybean supply. Data released by the National Oilseed Processors Association Feb. 15 showed that its members crushed 160.621

Huge U.S. corn exports face hurdles: Braun
Record-high stockpiles and looming record crops from rivals are causing headwinds for the crop
The United States appears well on its way to exporting the largest volume of corn in nine years, but there will be some hurdles to overcome in order to meet the full expectation for the season. The United States is the world’s No. 1 source for corn and while not the primary form of domestic
Dry spell in Argentina may spoil buzz for soybean bulls: Braun
Switch away from wet cycle could set the stage for a significant recovery in the crop’s prospects
Soybean bulls have been excited over the excessive rains across Argentina’s Soybean Belt in recent weeks, but an expected flip to dry weather might wither their enthusiasm.

Not only is a reality check in order — in terms of whether such big yields are even possible — but the impact on domestic stocks may be of greater interest.
