U.S. farmers pursue soybean profits, shrug at tight wheat stocks (Successful Farming) 

March 31, 2022


Successful Farming published an article stating that American farmers say they will plant more soybeans — a record 91 million acres — and less corn and spring wheat despite tight global wheat supplies that have been compounded by the Russian invasion of Ukraine. The U.S. is the world’s largest agricultural exporter.
