Opinion: Are U.S. soybean exports meeting market expectations?

By Karen Braun November 28, 2017

Although robust world soybean demand and competitive advantages have allowed the United States to surpass early-season export forecasts for four years in a row, market watchers wonder if this is the year that will break the mould. The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s weekly soybean export figures have consistently met or exceeded analyst estimates so far.

Yield potential for soybeans looking good

The Bean Report for July 30, 2015

By Manitoba Pulse & Soybean Growers July 31, 2015

Soybeans Soybeans are in the pod filling to early seed stages, R-3 to R-5. Crops reaching R-5 are slightly ahead of previous years and correspond to early varieties, early seeding and/ or higher than normal accumulated heat units, especially in southwestern Manitoba. Despite localized areas being affected by hail and excess moisture, overall yield potential

Expecting an early cereal harvest? Try growing a cover crop

A nitrogen boost is just one of many benefits of adding cover crops to the rotation

By Joanne Thiessen Martens And Anne Kirk June 15, 2015

In many parts of Manitoba spring cereals were seeded early this year, and harvest may occur directly after winter wheat harvest. An early harvest means that there may still be two months of warm weather between harvest and freeze-up — warmth that could be used to grow a late-season cover crop. Cover crops are known

Study concludes Manitoba soybean-crushing plant viable

But that’s partly because of market distortions caused by poor rail service and lacking competition

By Allan Dawson May 20, 2015

Poor rail service and a lack of competition contribute to the viability of a 2,000-tonne-per-day soybean-crushing plant in Manitoba, a study prepared for the Manitoba Pulse & Soybean Growers (MPSG) and Soy 20/20 says. “Indeed, the numbers tell us that if adequate and regular rail service existed in Manitoba then both a Canadian and/or a

Soybeans — it might be OK to go easy on the inoculant

MPGA tests also show little or no benefit in using fungicides

By John Morriss February 17, 2015

Plant your soybeans on wheat or corn stubble and aim for 140,000 to 150,000 plants per acre. Those were two of the recommendations from research results delivered by Manitoba Pulse Growers production specialist Kristen Podolsky to a meeting of the Brokenhead River Agricultural Conference here last week. Podolsky also said you might not need to
