Soybean demand seen strong amid stable prices says Hardin
Agriculture Secretary Clifford M. Hardin told a Chicago Des Moines and Nashville radio audience that demand for American soybeans remains solid with favorable economic factors supporting continued high demand. Exports boosted total U S farm product overseas sales to a record 12 billion last year, while hog prices rose aided by food stamp expansion. Hardin noted potential threats from Russian imports and possible new barriers but saw no specific cause for broad pessimism. He also discussed Chicago stockyards and the lack of authority to prevent market closures under court order.

Insect Resistance and Farm Tech Advance in 4-H Notes
Agricultural researchers push plant resistance to curb crop insects with no extra farmer cost and minimal residues, forecasting slower but long term benefits. Examples cite Hessian Fly resistant wheat varieties, plus Michigan State University energy on meat color and packaging.

Test on carryover soybean seed described at Crop Improvement Day
At Nebraska Center for Continuing Education a new stress test predicts field emergence of carryover soybean seed. Seed stored in high humidity and heat deteriorates, but a 104 F for 30 hours stress test followed by germination in sterile sand shows better alignment with field emergence than standard germination tests. A result above 80 percent suggests good emergence, while below 60 percent indicates likely failure.
