Special Crops Poorly Timed Rains Hurt Indian Soybean Crops DELHI - Oct 22/99 - STAT Poorly timed rains from this year's monsoon season will prevent soybean output from advancing past 5.2 million MT, down from last year's 5.9 million MT harvest, believes the Soyabean Processors Association (SOPA). Though the monsoon ended up being considered normal in most parts of the country, an positive factor for the rabi season crop outlook, the kharif, or monsoon season soybean crop was planted in dry soils and then hit with badly timed October rainfall. Crops in Madya Pradesh, which produces 75% of India's soybeans, are expected to end up 15% below expectations because of these weather patterns. However, these problems are partly offset by increased production in Maharashtra, which hopes to harvest 50,000 MT more soybeans than last year at 1.09 million MT.

22. ISU Extension News Release For 2002 corn and soybean crops, USDA price projections through January 2003 indicatethat marketing year average prices will be above the level that would http://www.extension.iastate.edu/newsrel/2003/feb03/feb0302.html

Extension Communications 3614 Administrative Services Building Ames, Iowa 50011-3614 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contacts: Robert Wisner, Ag Economics, (515) 294-6310, rwwisner@iastate.edu Jean McGuire, Continuing Education and Communication Services, (515) 294-7033, jmcguire@iastate.edu Understanding Corn and Soybean Counter-Cyclical Payments in the New Farm Bill Ames, Iowa - Farmers, landowners, and agricultural lenders should be aware of important differences between counter-cyclical payments (CCPs) of the new farm program and the old deficiency payment system that was used in pre-1996 federal farm programs. Both payment plans are based on target prices established by Congress, but there are some important differences that give target prices a different role than past programs, according to ISU Extension Economist Robert Wisner. The second component of the safety net is the direct payments, which are $0.28 per bushel for corn and $0.44 per bushel for soybeans for the 2002 through 2007 crops. Direct payments are made on 85% of the Farm Service Agency (FSA) base acreage and historical yields for the respective crops. These payments remain unchanged, even at extremely high or extremely low prices for their respective crops. Counter-Cyclical Payments The third component of the safety net is the CCPs. Like LDPs, CCPs, are price-sensitive. They also are made on 85% of FSA base acreage and yields. Yields for these payments may be updated to a recent four-year average. Wisner pointed out that with marketing year average prices moderately above the loan rates but well below target prices, CCPs drop to zero. He used a corn CCP example to illustrate how the calculations are made. First, CCPs are based on a weighted national average marketing year price paid to farmers. For corn and soybeans, the marketing year runs from Sept. 1 through Aug. 31. The marketing year average price is calculated by weighting monthly average prices by the volume of grain farmers sell each month during the year. If CCPs are made, each farmer receives the same CCP per bushel, regardless of geographic location.

Ag Answers Home Page What's Hot! Past Postings Purdue Home Page ... Ohio State Home Page 1997 Corn And Soybean Crops Could Be Record-Setters Chris Hurt, Purdue Agricultural Economist Corn prices may have bottomed for now as a result of the June planting report. However, continued favorable growing-season weather could result in a record-size crop and lower prices to come. U.S. farmers said they planted 80.2 million acres of corn this year up about 1 percent from last year. The largest acreage increases occurred in Indiana and Ohio, where an additional 1.1 million acres of corn were planted. The large increase in the two states was due to the unusually low corn acreage in 1996 caused by a wet spring. The crop is in very good condition at the start of July, with 74 percent in good or excellent condition according to USDA's weekly evaluations. The better crops appear to be in the Western Corn Belt, with more difficulties in the Eastern Belt. The short-term forecast remains cool and wet, suggesting the crop will continue to improve. Yield prospects are improving and may be in the 132- to 135-bushels-per-acre range at this point. Using the USDA's estimate of harvested acreage for grain, this means a crop of 9.8 to 10 billion bushels. Reaching the 10.1-billion- bushel record total production would require a yield of 136 bushels, which seems possible at this point.

February 2002 Presented by GEMPLER'S "The soybean aphid is here to stay and farmers will have to watch for this insect, just like they do potato leafhopper in alfalfa and European corn borer in corn." - John Wedberg Soybean aphid is 'here to stay' Experts predict that this growing season, soybean producers will once again have to battle the soybean aphid, which has spread from the Midwest into several other states including New York, Pennsylvania, Virginia, and West Virginia. (Photo courtesy of University of Wisconsin-Madison Department of Entomology) The pinhead-sized yellow-green bug known as the soybean aphid is expected to return to farm fields this year, but one expert says that much has been learned about the insect and how to reduce its attack on soybean crops. The bug apparently came to the United States in larval stage on buckthorn shrubs imported from China, Southeast Asia, and Australia. It was first located in some Wisconsin soybean crops in July 2000. Researchers say the aphid wiped out 50 percent of the soybean crops in China. The aphid infects soybean plants with the soybean mosaic virus and the bean yellow virus, both of which cause pod distortion, discoloration and stunted growth.

prev next index for this volume New Crops News ... NewCROPS home page New Crops News, Spring 1992, vol. 2 no. 1 Special Purpose Soybean Varieties A significant change in the soybean industry is about to take place. In the past, a commodity based pricing system has been used to buy and sell soybean crops. In this system maximum prices to be paid to producers are determined by product demand, and then these prices are discounted if seeds do not meet predetermined standards of quality. That system of pricing has worked well because the seed industry has been concerned primarily with yield and not with the amount of individual constituents that might be present in the seed. Now, however, demands are being made by processors for specific quality attributes not covered by the standards commonly used in commodity pricing. Other experimental soybean lines have been generated in which the concentration of either the saturated or polyunsaturated fatty acids are reduced. Reduced amounts of saturated fatty acids in human diets is associated with improved cardiovascular health. In one experimental line palmitic acid is decreased from 11% to 8%, and this reduces the total saturated fatty acids from 14% to 11%. Polyunsaturated fatty acids, on the other hand, are associated with poor oil flavor and stability. Presently soybean oil is hydrogenated to overcome these flavor and stability problems. A soybean with only 3.5% linolenic acid (18:3) has been identified. Tests have demonstrated that oil with reduced linolenic acid content has improved stability, flavor, and odor, particularly when heated.

Jump over Nav Bar search home soybeans and oil crops soybeans and oil crops: recommended readings Market outlook Strong Competition and Rising Prices Confront U.S. Soybean Exports assesses the prospects for the 2002 soybean crop. Crop rotations, improved net returns for corn, and economic and weather conditions in western States encouraged greater planting of corn, resulting in the lowest U.S. soybean area since 1998. Lower soybean supplies will promote a hard retreat in U.S. soybean exports. Higher U.S. prices will erode the ability to compete with likely aggressive export campaigns by Brazil and Argentina. Stable Field Crop Supplies Forecast for 2002/03 examines USDA's first projection of production and prices for the next marketing year. Supplies of most major U.S. field crops are expected to rise despite planted acreage similar to or lower than last year. Production gains are projected for corn and oats, while wheat and cotton output is expected to decline. For some crops, higher use may offset downward pressure on farm prices. Soybean and Cotton Plantings to Decline in Favor of Corn in 2002 reviews USDA's Prospective Plantings report for the eight major U.S. field crops (corn, soybeans, other feed grains, wheat, cotton, rice, minor oilseeds, and hay). Planting intentions are projected at 248.3 million acres, nearly identical to last year's despite widespread weak price signals.

University of Missouri-Columbia Vol. 12, No. 12 Article 3 of 5 May 31, 2002 Soybean foliage diseases may begin to show up by Laura Sweets The forecast for continued wet, overcast weather may result in the appearance of soybean foliage diseases on young seedlings. Septoria brown spot and bacterial blight can occur early in the season on very young plants. Bacterial tan spot and Phyllosticta leaf spot may also show up on young plants, especially on the first true leaf. Generally these diseases occur in low levels and do not cause significant losses. However, under favorable conditions for disease development, losses can be serious. Septoria brown spot causes small, angular to somewhat circular, red to brown spots on the unifoliolate and lower trifoliolate leaves. Individual spots can run together forming irregularly-shaped, brown blotches on the leaves. Infected unifoliolate leaves will yellow and drop prematurely. Brown spot usually starts on the lower portion of the plant. Under favorable weather conditions (warm, wet weather), the disease may move up through the plant. Late in the growing season, infected leaves may turn rusty brown or yellow and drop prematurely. The fungus which causes this disease

US soy prices face pressure from big crops, China 2003-02-05 22:14:16 GMT (Reuters) By K.T. Arasu CHICAGO, Feb 5 (Reuters) - Bumper soybean crops in South America and a bid by China to delay imports are serving to weaken U.S. prices but exports were well on their way to beating government forecasts, traders said on Wednesday. China, the world's top soybean importing nation and the No.1 market for U.S. supplies, is attempting to slow imports to ensure its domestic prices are not dampened by ample supplies ahead of the start of the planting season. Traders said news of the China move weighed on soybean basis values on the CIF barge market, which channels grains through the river system to the U.S. Gulf for export. "This China news is not bullish, and people are talking about the South American premiums (cash prices) being weaker because of the big crops there," an exporter said. He said Brazil, the world's second largest soybean producer after the United States, was already trading supplies for February shipment. "It's a little early this year. You don't usually get a liquid market for February," he added. CBOT March soybeans ended 7-1/2 cents lower at $5.63 per bushel.

Agronomic Crops Team On-Farm Research Projects 1997 Special Circular 160-98 SOYBEAN Soybean Inoculation and Nitrogen Nutrition Dr. Jim Beuerlein The soybean is a legume whose seed contains 34% to 38% protein when the grain is at 13% moisture. Seed protein contains much nitrogen in compounds called amino acids which make up the protein. Typically, a bushel of soybean grain contains between 3.5 and 4.0 pounds of nitrogen, and the crop uses about 5 pounds of nitrogen to produce each bushel of grain. About half (150-200 pounds) of the nitrogen is fixed by Rhizobium bacteria found in the nodules, and the other half is removed directly from the soil. Most soybean crops are nitrogen deficient throughout most of the growing season with the possible exception of a short period (2-3 weeks) during the late flowering-early pod-fill stage of growth. At that time, the rate of nitrogen fixation in the nodules is greater than the plants need. Very soon after a few pods have become fully expanded, seed filling starts, and the need for nitrogen increases dramatically. At the same time there is a large increase in demand for compounds produced by photosynthesis, and the plants redirect that production to the grain. This redirection often deprives the root system of energy needed for growth and even survival. As pods are being filled, the root system and some older leaves are often catabolized for carbohydrates and other materials. Prior to physiological maturity, the root system has been degenerated, the leaves stripped of all soluble carbohydrates and mineral nutrients, with those materials being deposited into the grain.

Lipps, and Kent Harrison Departments of Plant Pathology and Horticulture and Crop Science Soybean cyst nematode (SCN) was first identified in Ohio on soybean in 1987. Subsequent surveys have found SCN in 47 counties as of August 1998. This nematode damages soybeans by feeding on plant roots, robbing the plants of nutrients, and providing wound sites for root rotting fungi to enter. The severity of symptoms and yield losses are dependent on several factors including the number of nematodes present in the field at planting, the soybean variety, soil texture, fertility, soil moisture, and tillage practices. Many fields in Ohio show no obvious above ground symptoms, but do have some yield reductions. Once soybean cyst nematode has become established in a field, it rarely is eradicated. The first step in management of soybean cyst nematode is to determine which fields have soybean cyst nematode present and how many nematodes are there. Symptoms Soybean cyst nematode injury can be easily confused with other crop production problems such as nutrient deficiencies, injury from herbicides, soil compaction, or other diseases. When there are high populations of nematodes present on lighter soils, symptom development can be quite severe. Circular to oval patches of stunted, yellowed plants develop in late July or August. Affected areas may increase in size each year, usually in the direction of tillage. In heavier soils, plants may appear stunted in patches or fields may produce less than the desired yields.

February 11, 2000 Argentina is continuing to receive timely and beneficial rainfall throughout most of the growing areas this season. Soybean output for 1999/2000 is raised this month by 0.5 million tons to 19.5 million, while corn is unchanged at 15.5 million. Soybean harvested area is forecast at a record 8.0 million hectares and corn is up 22 percent from last season at 3.1 million. As of February 4, soybean planting was virtually complete, while corn sowing was nearing completion, according to the Argentina Agricultural Secretariat. After dryness caused planting delays early in the season, significant progress was made in January as crops began receiving beneficial rainfall across the major corn and soybean production areas. Cumulative precipitation from September through the end of January indicates pockets of dryness still exist in Santa Fe and Entre Rios (Figure 1) . However, rainfall during January boosted soil moisture in Buenos Aires and north and central Santa Fe provinces, thereby stabilizing or improving yield prospects (Figure 2) . Rainfall was adequate in January for over 90 percent of the corn and soybean crops, while about 5 percent of the total area (mostly Entre Rios) had much below normal precipitation.
