Iowa State University economist Gene Futrell notes a surprising 20 cent rise in soybean values from early November to early January. He cites a larger fall harvest, adequate supply for the next year, and strong export and domestic demand as factors, with farmers advised to hold beans in storage and consider selling if sentiment changes.

Market notes project soybeans supplies and bids for 1965 66
Futrell notes that U S food shipments to underdeveloped nations may rise and Viet Nam involvement could boost markets. The Iowa Farm OUTLOOK analyzes soybeans use and supplies with 1965 output at 844 million bushels, 164 more than 1964, and a carryover lower than last fall. Demand is seen higher for 1965 66, with about 874 million bushels available and roughly 800 million expected to be used, while 1967 and later speculations may overshadow near term factors.

Iowa corn producers lose about 8 bushels per acre yearly to weeds. County Extension Director Jim Frier notes cultural weed control can reduce loss, and ideal weather may yield a weed free crop. If weather is poor, add chemical controls and keep check rows to assess material performance.
