Soybean plantings reflect good price
The USDA June 30 acreage report shows larger soybean plantings due to favorable spring prices, says Iowa State economist Bob Wisner. A slightly below normal U.S. yield of 27.5 bushels per acre would lift total supply about 10 percent from 1976, and a larger crop could rise 26 percent, though carryover stocks would cut the gain.
