A market analyst suspects early soybean yields are indicative
of a crop that’s going to be smaller than USDA is anticipating.
Global Commodity Analytics president Mike Zuzolo says that’s even with a recently reduced national yield estimate of under 48 bushels per acre.
“I actually think that number could shrink 2 to maybe even 4 bushels if these early yields come in as the later yields do as well.”
He tells Brownfield an Illinois farmer close to the Indiana border who had good growing conditions called him in late September reporting soybean yields in the 80’s.
