ASA backs demand creation over reducing soybean acreage
Hudson based ASA executive vice president Ralph Jackson affirmed a 19 year policy to stimulate overseas demand for soybeans rather than curb production. He warned that reducing acreage could alarm buyers and harm 50 percent of U S soybean exports, while emphasizing individual farmer decisions and potential market backlash. He noted ASA may push to end export monitoring, but an acreage cutback effort would delay that move. Two leaders in corn acreage cuts will speak at Le Grand school, possibly tightening controls.

Consumers face new USDA beef grading plan changes
The USDA will expand the Choice grade to about 90 percent of yield graded beef and require quality and yield grading on carcasses. Consumer groups oppose the shift, warning shoppers will pay Choice prices for Good beef as grading costs rise. The plan, supported by industry groups, aims to improve Good grade standards and lean beef demand while adding grading time and cost.
