Record soybean carryover seen at 300 million bushels demand
A farm economist projects a 1969-70 soybean outlook with carryover around 300 million bushels if August forecasts hold, rising to 350 to 370 million next year. The 1969 bean crop is put at 1,061 million bushels, down 2 percent but still second largest on record, with an average yield of 25.5 bushels per acre. Domestic use climbs about 4 percent, while foreign demand eases against fishmeal and sunflower oil competition. Prices are expected to fall as new crop beans enter the market and loan-rate effects align with marketing.
