Kansas soybean production is expected to set an all-time record this year.
The latest report released by the U.S. Department of Agriculture shows that Kansas soybean production is expected to set an all-time record this year, reaching nearly 157 million bushels, 11 million bushels higher than the October forecast.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture said Monday that the Kansas soybean harvest is 72% complete, which, although still 16% behind the five-year average pace, has prompted the government to raise its soybean production figure.
The Kansas Soybean Association said preliminary harvest results show good soybean yields.
During October, temperatures in Kansas soybean-growing areas hit the second-lowest record in history, and rainfall was 56% above normal levels, which brought the local soybean harvest to a standstill. Some farmers had completed only half of their soybean harvesting work.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture expects U.S. soybean production to reach 3.32 billion bushels this year, up 2% from last month.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture maintained its Kansas corn production figure at 561.2 million bushels, which would be an all-time record.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture expects U.S. corn production to be 12.9 billion bushels this year, down 1% from last month's forecast.
