Bergland Says No Soy Embargo Plan Yet
Agriculture Secretary Bergland told the Senate committee there are no current plans to embargo soybean exports though a shift could occur if a new foreign buyer competes for supplies. Supplies are tight after a small crop and rising demand with a projected 65 million bushels of pipeline stocks, amid rumors of China seeking soybeans from Brazil or the U S. The hearing also covers the U S farm census in Marengo with testimony from Iowa farm leaders and multiple farm groups.
