The 1937-38 price outlook for soybeans is for much lower grower prices than 1936-37 due to a 27 percent rise in production and higher cottonseed output. Prices should stay near or just above 1935-36 levels as oil and meal supplies grow, with demand in late 1938 uncertain and total U S production around 38 million bushels.
