Record Soybean Harvest Mooted
WASHINGTON - Sep 12/22 - SNS -- At 4.38 billion bushels, 2022 soybean production is forecast to be the fourth highest production on record for the United States, according to the USDA's latest production forecast.
creage updates were made in several States based on a thorough review of all available data. Total planted area, at 87.5 million acres, is down 1% from the previous estimate but up less than 1% from the previous year. Acreage harvested for grain is forecast at 86.6 million acres, down 1% from the previous forecast but up less than 1% from last year.
The forecasted yield, at 50.5 bushels per acre, is down 2% from last year's final estimate of 51.4 bushels per acre. If realized, this would be the fifth highest yield on record for the United States. Record high yields are forecast in Arkansas, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, and Mississippi.
The September objective yield data for the combined 11 major soybean-producing States (Arkansas, Illinois, Indian, Iowa, Kansas, Minnesota, Nebraska, North Dakota, Ohio, and South Dakota) indicate a lower pod count compared with the previous year. Compared with final counts for 2021, pod counts are down in 9 of the 11 published States. Nebraska showed the greatest decrease, down 556 pods per 18 square feet from the previous year.
