Soybeans poised to beat out wheat, barley

Planting estimates for soybeans are running around two million acres for the coming season

Soybean bulls may not find a friend in U.S. crush

The numbers suggest crushers are beginning to oversupply the meal market

By Karen Braun March 7, 2017

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.

By Allan Dawson February 21, 2017

A committee studying the case for building a soybean-crushing plant in western Manitoba is undeterred by plans announced last week for one in Spiritwood, North Dakota, 140 km west of Fargo. “I think this just confirms to us that there is a significant potential here and I am quite sure we will continue to investigate

By Karen Braun January 31, 2017

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. It’s been wet in the core soybean region in Argentina – the global leader in soy product exports. Most areas picked up between one and two inches (25

A soybean isn’t a soybean anymore

By Lorraine Stevenson January 20, 2017

More soybean crops for Manitoba this summer mean farmers must be extra vigilant about what everyone else is planting, says a provincial pulse crops specialist. In a talk dubbed ‘A soybean isn’t a soybean anymore,’ during St. Jean Farm Days, Manitoba Agriculture pulse crops specialist Dennis Lange and farm production specialist Terry Buss cautioned farmers

It is almost certain that U.S. farmers will plant more soybeans in 2017 than ever before, but profitability indicators in the futures market give good reason to believe that this acreage could push much higher than what we have been prepared for. In its annual long-term projections published late last month, the U.S. Department of
