There has already been a 40 percent increase in deforestation due to soybeans and experts warn that further increases threaten the Amazon ecological system. Some government officials in Brazil are calling for a three-fold increase in the area planted with soybeans, which would be taken out of the jungle. Environmental groups are strongly criticizing this increase in deforestation. The Age September 18, 2003

The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) ordered the company to burn the contaminated soybean crops and suggested that fines may be forthcoming. The law allows a fine of twice the value of the damaged crops, or up to $500,000 for each violation.

MAKING STORAGE DECISIONS FOR 2003 CORN AND soybean crops. Late season heat and dryness is bringing the midwest corn and soybean crops to maturity a little quicker http://www.farmdoc.uiuc.edu/marketing/weekly/html/082503.html

Search farmdoc web August 25, 2003 MAKING STORAGE DECISIONS FOR 2003 CORN AND SOYBEAN CROPS Late season heat and dryness is bringing the midwest corn and soybean crops to maturity a little quicker than expected. As harvest draws near, producers must make pricing and storage decisions for that portion of the crop not already priced. Strategies for individual producers will likely depend on a number of factors, including expectations about potential changes in futures prices and basis over the next several months; cost and availability of storage; percentage of the crop already priced; and the level of cash prices in relation to the Commodity Credit Corporation (CCC) loan rate. Changes in futures prices of corn and soybeans over the next several months are difficult to anticipate, due to the wide range of factors that can influence price. Often, crops that are smaller than anticipated, which appears to be the case this year, results in higher prices near harvest time. It is not unusual to see the highest cash prices occur at harvest time in small crop years (10 times in the past 30 years for corn, including last year, and 9 times in the past years for soybeans). However, prices do not always peak in the fall when crops fall short of expectations, as was the case for soybeans in 2002-03.

Search farmdoc web June 23, 2003 ODDS OF LARGE U.S. CORN AND SOYBEAN CROPS INCREASING? The 2003 U.S. planting season and early part of the growing season for corn and soybeans were less than perfect. This is reflected in low crop condition ratings for Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Michigan, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Texas. In addition, parts of other states (Southern Illinois, for example) have low crop ratings. Wet weather likely resulted in relatively large prevented plantings in some areas. Nationwide, however, the USDA crop condition ratings for the week ended June 15 showed both the corn and soybean crops in much better condition than on the same date last year. With 71 percent of the corn crop and 68 percent of the soybean crop rated in good or excellent condition, yield prospects remained good at mid-month. The National Weather Service forecast for the period June 28 through July 2 indicated prospects for normal temperatures in most of the corn and soybean growing areas. That same forecast indicated prospects for below normal precipitation for an area running from Michigan through eastern Texas that include much of Illinois, Indiana, and Missouri. The forecast for the month of July, released on June 19, indicated prospects for normal or below normal temperatures and normal to above normal precipitation for essentially all of the corn and soybean producing areas. Finally, the 90 day forecast through September indicated normal temperatures and precipitation for all production areas. As the saying goes "it is not over until it is over"; adverse weather events could occur. However, the current forecast suggests reasonable chances for at least trend-line corn and soybean yields in 2003. Yields above trend may be more likely than yields below trend.

South Dakota farmers are eyeing a substantially large corn crop than last year, the government reported Friday. This year's corn crop is forecast to be 451 million bushels, up 48 percent from last year, the Agricultural Statistics Service said in its first row crop forecast for 2003. The larger corn crop is the result of higher yields - an expected 110 bushels per acre, up from 95 last year - and a 28 percent increase in acreage to 4.1 million acres. The soybean crop is expected to produce 145.8 million bushels, up 15 percent from last year. The estimated yield of 36 bushels would tie for the second largest on record. The soybean acreage is down 1 percent from last year to 4.05 million. Alfalfa hay production is forecast to increase 70 percent from last year to 5.72 million tons, and other hay production is forecast at 2.47 million tons, up 72 percent.

Search farmdoc web August 12, 2003 CORN AND SOYBEAN CROP ESTIMATES NOT AS LARGE AS EXPECTED The USDA's August Crop Production report estimated the 2003 U.S. corn crop potential at 10.064 billion bushels, 1.056 billion larger than the 2002 crop, but about 200 million less than generally expected. The 2003 soybean crop is estimated at 2.862 billion bushels, about 130 million larger than the 2002 crop, but 80 million below the average trade guess. The corn crop estimate reflects a national average record yield of 139.9 bushels per acre, 1.3 bushels above the previous record of 1994 and 9.9 bushels higher than the 2002 average. Of the major corn producing states, the highest yields are expected in Iowa (158), Minnesota (156), and Illinois (154). Large year-over-year increases in average yields are expected in Indiana and Ohio. The August production estimate is 13 million bushels larger than the record crop of 1994 and is expected to be met with good demand. Processing use of corn during the 2003-04 marketing year is projected at 2.475 billion bushels, 165 million larger than the estimate for the current year. Feed and residual use is expected to be down 75 million bushels, but will be supported by a small sorghum crop. Exports are projected to increase by 200 million bushels during the year ahead due to an anticipation of smaller Chinese exports. U.S. corn consumed for all purposes during the 2003-04 marketing year is projected at 9.9 billion bushels, leaving year ending stocks of only 1.184 billion bushels. The projection of year ending (September 1, 2004) stocks is only 175 million larger than the projection of stocks at the beginning of the year. The USDA projects the 2003-04 marketing year average farm price in a range of $2.00 to $2.40, $.10 higher than last month's projection. The average for the current year (ending August 31, 2003) will be near $2.30.

USING 10-METER DIGITAL AIRBORNE IMAGERY TO CLASSIFY CROP TYPES IN IOWA* M.E. Houts, R. Lee, K. P. Price, S. L. Egbert, E. A. Martinko Kansas Applied Remote Sensing, University of Kansas, Lawrence, Kansas, USA * Presented at the Second International Conference on Geospatial Information in Agriculture and Forestry, Lake Buena Vista, Florida, 10-12 January 2000. ABSTRACT This research evaluated the use of multi-temporal digital airborne imagery to classify corn and soybean acres in Boone County, Iowa. Five dates (June 12, June 24, July 2, July 8 and July 15) of fine spatial resolution (10 meter), multi-spectral imagery were used in the analysis. Single-date and multi-date combinations of both multi-spectral and normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) images were processed using supervised classification techniques. Ground truth for the supervised classification was provided by field surveys collected by Resource 21 (Engelwood, Colorado). Using a multi-date NDVI classification, corn and soybean crops were classified with 99% and 98% accuracies, respectively. Additionally, classification results indicated that imagery from late June or early July provide the best separation of corn and soybean crops. 1.0 INTRODUCTION

Growing Organic Soybeans on CRP Land Kathleen Delate , Iowa State University Determining Your Market             One of the first issues to address is your market. The majority of organic soybeans are going to Japan for use in the “tofu” market, although organic soybeans are also used for tofu and other soy products in the U.S. Edible soybeans are clear-hilum beans (no black mark on the seed). In the IDALS booklet, you will find a list of buyers for organic grains. Check with them first to determine the market prices you can contract with them for the 1998 growing season [contracts based on acreage (regardless of yields) vs. bushels are best; you don’t always know what you’re going to get your first years]. Organic production generally increases as the farm progresses to a more organic situation (improved soil health and balanced insect populations). Average organic soybean yields this year ranged from 25 bu/A to 53 bu/A on the best farms. Prices received in 1999 ranged from $20/bu to $12/bu (see variety selection below) for certified organic beans. Certified Organic             In order to sell your crop as certified organic, you must be certified by one of the certifying agencies listed on the Organic Information Fact Sheet. Each certifying agency has its own rules, but in general, they will require the following:

Soy planting begins in September and October, so Brazil's new president, Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, must decide soon whether to lift a ban on gene-modified soybean seeds. His decision carries consequences for U.S. exporters, importers in Europe, farmers as far away as Africa and consumers everywhere.

Backscatter differences across this field were substantial ( Fig.2 Chart ) and these differences were used to classify the soybean field into two zones ( Fig.3 Classification ). The soils map of this field indicates that the zones visible in the radar imagery are likely related to differences in soil drainage, and these drainage patterns result in variability in the emergence of the soybean crop ( Fig.4 Soils ). Zones of lower backscatter correspond to finer textured soils on very gently sloping land. In these zones, soil drainage is poor relative to other areas of the field. Crop emergence and crop growth is these regions are delayed as a result of the reduced soil drainage and cooler soil temperatures. Fig.3 Classification (9 Kb)

Aphids devastate Ontario soybean crops 4 Aug 2001 Bugs that irk city-dwellers horrify farmers; a field can hold billions From Canadian Press Friday's gentle breezes did little to blow off a bizarre invasion of foreign soybean aphids that have been feasting on one of Ontario's most important cash crops. "It is an invasion,'' said Chris Darling, curator of entomology at the city's Royal Ontario Museum. By nightfall, players and spectators at a Blue Jays baseball game at Toronto's SkyDome were being swarmed by the pests. The umpire requested the dome's roof be closed during the 3rd inning of Toronto's 10-1 win over Baltimore because the bugs were making it difficult to play. But the closure didn't help matters, as players and fans continued to pick insects trapped inside the stadium out of their eyes and hair. It began Thursday when commuters found themselves covered with the tiny green bugs as they headed home, breathing through hankies and struggling to brush off insects that were literally dropping from the sky. "It's an Asian species, and it just got into Canada this year for the first time. It's in every soybean field you'll find, at least in southern Ontario.''
