Help your growers hit their soybean yield goals with SUL4R-PLUS. Compared to AMS, SUL4R-PLUS provided an additional 2.7 bushel per acre increase in yield and a $36 per acre increase in ROI in a 2021 field trial. https://bit.ly/4bjDnig

Very low soybean and corn farmer selling yesterday. The indications got very wide. In general, farmers in Brazil keep trying to sell beans instead of corn. The ratio in Mato Grosso climbed further. Soybean nominations keep growing in most ports, except Santarem and Itaco, where tradings are increasing corn nominations. Commercials commented on the lower water level of the Tapajos River, one of the waterways towards Barcarena port... Keep reading https://lnkd.in/e_jdgu2d

I follow the National Corn Growers Association Corn Yield Contest every year. The winner this year, David K Hula from Virginia, achieved an all time record yield of 623.84 bu/ac!!! Think about that for a moment. 100 years ago in the 1920's the average corn yield in the United States was 26.4 bu/ac. Farmer/seeds-person visual selections of open pollinated varieties were not making any substantial genetic gains at all, in fact yields were on a slow downward trend. Then professional plant breeding came along; hybridization, land grant university investments, private breeding investments, competition, advanced breeding methods, improved agronomy, disease resistance...etc., etc., and more recently genetic modification. With the adoption of new breeding techniques (NBT's), it will be interesting to see how high corn yields can go in future. Predictions anyone? #GoCorn #ASTA

INOCULATED SOYBEANS checking the activity of rhizobia in soybeans production is important. this is how it's done!!! -to start with, gently pull out a soybean plant which is at flowering stage or shortly before flowering stage. secondly, check for the presence of root nodules. finally squeeze or crush one nodule and observe the color of the inner substance. *if the color is pinkish or red, then the rhizobia is actively fixing atmospheric nitrogen into mineral nitrogen on the other hand, if the color of the squeezed substance is white, then the rhizobia or the nodule is not functional and mostly the crop exhibits nitrogen deficiency (yellowing of lower leaves).

After 4 days of very thin farmer selling in Brazil, soybean premiums closed a bit firmer ystd, around 7 cents higher. The very limited farmer selling also supported soybean meal premiums in Argentina and Brazil... China purchased a few soybean cargoes overnight for August from Brazil, and the carry for US offers new crop remains wide (25-30 cents/bushel). In total, China has purchased 15 soybean cargoes so far. https://lnkd.in/drp-7h_D

Let's face it. Soybean demand for US soybeans has been an uphill battle for numerous reasons. But, why? Can we dig ourselves out of this situation? Are we doomed for it to get worse? I discuss those topics with Mac Marshall of the United Soybean Board as we talked at Commodity Classic. Check it out. As always, be sure to Like, Subscribe, and Share this video with others.

Industry voices speak out: A chorus of concerns echoes through the corridors of soybean processing plants, notes soy industry consultant and former Bunge procurement director, Gordon Denny. A. "The US is losing the feedstock battle!" B. "The current and future labor shortage is hurting our safety, productivity, quality, and run time." C. "The current shrinking margins will test old and new plants. I hope the new guys have enough capital to offset low margins, high depreciation, lower run rates." D. "I spend way too much time in meetings discussing GREET, LCFS, CARB, RVOs, CI Score, Argonne Nat instead of doing the right thing in the market." E. "How can we let Brazilian tallow from cattle feeding off deforested land, and Chinese used cooking oil (UCO) into the US to meet subsidies and mandates, while US soybean oil isn’t competitive on price or CI score?" https://lnkd.in/dMmRSCHf
