Soybean Price Could Near Record 3.33
The Agriculture Department says farm prices for soybeans in the marketing year starting Sept 1 could approach the 1947 record average of 3.33 per bushel, aided by Soviet sales. The report notes tight supplies with demand for domestic and export use feeding a banner marketing season and suggests prices may exceed 3 per bushel by five to ten percent. It projects a carryover around 72 million bushels next year, the smallest since 1966, and highlights exports possibly rising to a new high aided by the Soviet purchase and Britain's EC entry.

Farm Capital Requirements Vary By Type
Harold A. Sterrett notes that capital needed per dollar of farm profit varies by major enterprise. Data from Missouri Mail-In Record programs (1961–1970) show hogs requiring 4.22 dollars produced per dollar return to labor and management, while beef farms rise to about 50.34. Dairy and grain operations also differ, illustrating how weather, prices, and diseases influence capital needs and urging farmers to compare records and consider MU Extension record systems.

Harold A. Sterrett notes farm mortgage size is rising as per the U S Economics Research Service. Large loans above 250 000 grew 37 percent from 1969 to 1971 and accounted for 14 percent of new mortgage loans in 1971, with varied shares by lender type. Regional patterns show Mountain States using 28 percent of large loans while Five Corn Belt States hold 23 percent of land value. Large loans often refinance or consolidate existing debt rather than add new funds.
