Old crop limit up on Thursday. Looking for it to challenge 7 again.
Course it was limit down recently too......

Let alone the damage in much of Manitoba that just shortened their growing season

Setting up to be interesting with the cupboards bare most everywhere.

The crop conditions in the US really resemble here - pretty mixed bag and overall roughish start to the season. I dont know how much SA affects the overall market. Seems the US always leads it.

South America produces more corn and soybeans than the US, will definitely move markets but info is very slow about conditions and yields.

Where does soddy get off? The US grows 5 times as much corn as Brazil and Argentina combined.

World produces about 335 million tonnes of beans.
South America about 200 mmt
North America about 100 mmt
Rest of the world 35mmt

Sound about right?

Bean originated in China but they grow less than 20mmt
Do the import 1/2 the world production.

South America didn't export before RR Beans?

[Sodbuster]

I stand corrected, after a bit of research the US produces twice as much corn as South America and SA production exceeds the US by 70% for soybeans.

Does spring frost shorten growing season ?
Our resident expert doesn’t think so ?
