Soy did over expansion on a crop thats just not ready. Were farmers looking for the magic crop and didn't see that Rain is needed at the wrong time of the year to get big yields.
Soybean acres in Western Canada jumped a phenomenal amount this year, rising to 3.1 million in 2017 from 1.8 million in 2016, says a post on producer.com.
But acres will likely shrink in 2018 because soybean yields were below average in Manitoba and awful in Saskatchewan.
Dennis Lange, Manitoba Agriculture soybean and pulse expert, holds that opinion, He projects 2018 area at two million acres in the province, down from 2.29 million in 2017.
“I think we’ll see a bit of a drop this year. Just because of how dry things were… yields were a little more reduced,†Lange said at a November meeting in Brandon on the potential of a soybean crushing plant being built in western Manitoba.
Its funny because the grain companies and others are falling all over them selves building Soy Treatment plants instead of updating their grain handling system.
Soy is it, blah blah blah.
Yes it is a fun crop to grow probably the best thing i have ever enjoyed but profit is more important than a fun crop to grow. The Time when you need a good drink of water is same time your trying to harvest peas or malt barley. So get no malt or flat peas to harvest and great soy crop. But one cold night and well your done.
Its going to come and it will be a great crop but just like our Leader Sock Boy its just not here yet.
