IARN — In this month’s World Agricultural Supply and Demand Estimates (WASDE), the USDA put out a big estimate for soybeans. They estimated that the United States will produce a record number of soybeans in 2022. While that is good news, it is still just an estimate. However, there was other good news for soybean producers in that WASDE report.
