The American Soybean Association says farmers will plant 55.7 million acres this season, up from 50.3 million a year earlier, amid tight supplies and high prices. Dr. Kenneth L.

He notes processing at 6 to 8 percent of normal rates and livestock feeders trimming high protein soybean meal use. He commends Secretary Bergland for denying an impending soybean export embargo.
