@Cargill said its grains terminal in the port of Santarem, northern #Brazil, is not operating due to a protest by indigenous people over plans to dredge rivers. The terminal receives #soybeans and #corn arriving in barges from loading spots down the Amazon and Tapajos rivers

[U.S. SOY @ussoy]

U.S. soy continues to gain ground in global markets.

Farmers are investing in better infrastructure, stronger supply chains, and sustainability practices that buyers here and abroad can count on.

What’s the 2025 Drought Outlook? 🌽 🌧️

Here is the spring & summer forecasts from @bam_weather

April:
Very wet in the eastern corn belt as well as some northern areas

May:
Dryness creeps back in over those northern areas but remains wet out east

June:
Rain almost exclusively confined to the eastern corn belt, leaving the central plains dry

June-July-Aug:
The plains and western corn belt get super dry, as the dryness works its way further east. Leaving just the far western corn belt wet

Overall the eastern corn belt doesn’t look like a concern, but the central plains and western corn belt are something to keep an eye on this summer

Conocer a los agricultores es mi experiencia favorita. Resiliencia, pasión y responsabilidad son algunos de los valores que los caracterizan. Alimentar al mundo tiene héroes con nombre y apellido. #marchclassic #soybeans #canada #sustainability #farmers

👀 Fact: US #soy #farmers have cut their #greenhouse gas #emissions per bushel by 43% since 1980. Growing more while leaving a smaller #carbon #footprint! 🌍 @ussoy @USSEC #Sustainability #soybeans

Need a distraction?

If podcasts are your thing, check out this one I did last week while meeting South Asia soy buyers in Nepal.

🌱 Family at the core: 98% of US soybean farms are family-owned. When farmers own the land, sustainability isn’t just a goal—it’s a way of life. #USSOY #SustainableFarming

Inicia el FGA 2024. Increíble organización y muchas expectativas. Hoy compartiendo la historia de la soya sostenible de EE. UU. @ussoy

[Scott Gerlt @GerltScott]

I'm very excited to release work that @ASA_Soybeans has done with @NationalCorn on the effects of Chinese tariffs on U.S. corn and soy. If China enforced current tariffs, U.S. soy prices would fall by $.60 per bushel and corn prices would fall by $0.08. https://t.co/KTvOPNwHsm

Job training is not necessarily professional development. Huge difference between short-term specific skills vs. long-term career projection...

[Peak Trading Research @PeakTrading]

U.S. #Soybeans 🌱 are now the world's most cheap & oversold #commodity market 📉. Prices are below $10.50 per bushel and #funds have added to big short positions. Why are speculators so confident we'll see lower prices? Perfect weather, soft demand, bearish seasonals. 🌦️🚜🌍
