Iowa Farm Outlook Shows Soybean Boom Ahead
Iowa State University extension economist Bob Wisner predicts the 1969 soybean crop will exceed 1 billion bushels if September prospects hold. He notes rising use in 1969-70, a larger carryover in 1970, and factors such as sun flower oil restrictions and higher incomes boosting demand. Prices may dip with harvest then recover to about 2.32 to 2.36 per bushel in late spring.
