Where are soybean acres expected to expand in 2026? This map highlights the shift.

Rising soybean acreage at home and abroad is likely to expand supplies faster than demand – leaving prices capped unless China materially accelerates export purchases.

Domestic biofuel clarity helps, but doesn’t lift the price ceiling meaningfully higher. Rising demand for soybean oil and meal will support higher crush and strengthen basis.

Producers can expect continued volatility, with any price rallies likely tied to weather scares and geopolitical headlines. Read the full report from @TerrainAg. Link in the replies.

Stronger communities start with working together. In 2025, we teamed up with @agcountry and @fcsamerica to create an even greater impact across the communities we call home – investing more than $9.8 million in projects and programs that support rural communities.

From supporting a 4-H club that empowers youth with disabilities to strengthening rural emergency response through updated tools and training, our 2025 Community Impact Report highlights how these investments are making a real difference.

2025 highlights by the numbers:
🌱 $365,805 growing year‑round learning in 51 gardens and greenhouses
🥫 $196,140 replenishing food at 187 pantries
🚒 $610,795 for fire gear and life‑saving tools through 89 grants
🌾 $45,960 preparing future ag leaders through 4 start-up FFA chapters
🎓 $515,500 awarded through 259 student scholarships
🔨 $645,000 improving 6 food banks and pantry facilities

Producers identify access to capital as one of the biggest barriers to adopting, expanding, and continuing on-farm stewardship activities. We've been hard at work developing solutions to break down financial barriers and help advance a more sustainable ag industry.

Our 2025 sustainability report highlights two pilot programs designed to test and refine our approach to supporting our customers' stewardship goals:

✅ Full-service, discounted grant writing services through LASSO for customers operating in our pilot states.

✅ A planned Stewardship Fund to help support a range of stewardship activities.

The report also features customer stories from across the Midwest, insights into industry partnerships, and additional ways we’re working to advance sustainability together.

A weaker dollar doesn’t automatically mean stronger ag exports. Since early 2025, the U.S. Dollar Index has dropped by over 12%. While a weaker dollar can help export opportunities, the U.S. Dollar Index does not accurately reflect the exchange rates that influence most U.S. agricultural exports.

In a recent report, @TerrainAg created indexes weighted to recent trade flows for agriculture and found that the recent softness in the U.S. dollar will not be enough to significantly tip the scale for an export boon.

Only 17% of producers at our 2026 @ComClassic panel had both a complete succession plan and a clear leadership structure in place – a gap that can leave many families stressed about the future.

Attendees also shared their top questions:
➡️ How do I get my parents to build a succession plan?
➡️ When should my son/daughter start making decisions?

Our recorded session, “Legacy in Action: Leading and Planning for the Future of Your Farm,” dives into these concerns and offers guidance on how to move your operation forward for the next generation.
