Global Soybean Production Reaches Record High as Brazilian Harvest Continues

By Jean-Paul MacDonald, Farms.com

Soybean production has reached a record high this year, driven by increased planting area and favorable weather conditions in major producing countries. Brazil, one of the world's largest soybean producers, is set to break its previous record for soybean production this year, with the harvest still ongoing.

The increase in soybean production comes as global demand for the crop continues to rise, driven by the growing popularity of plant-based foods and increasing demand for animal feed. Soybeans are a critical source of protein, and are used in a wide range of food and industrial products.

The global soybean market has been buoyed by the record harvests in Brazil and other major producing countries, which have helped to stabilize prices and ensure a steady supply of soybeans. The increased production has also led to a surge in exports, with major exporting countries like the US and Brazil seeing strong demand from importers around the world.

Despite the challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic and other factors, the outlook for the global soybean market remains positive, with continued growth in production and demand expected in the coming years. The success of the Brazilian soybean harvest is a testament to the resilience and adaptability of farmers, who continue to work tirelessly to provide essential food products to people around the world.

Border View Farms is a mid-sized family farm that sits on the Ohio-Michigan border. My name is Nathan. I make and edit all of the videos posted here. I farm with my dad, Mark and uncle, Phil. We also have a part-time employee, Brock. My dad started the farm in 1980. Since then we have grown the operation from just a couple hundred acres to over 3,000. Watch my 500th video for a history of our farm I filmed with my dad.

I started making these videos in the fall of 2019 as a way to help show what I do on a daily basis as a farmer. Agriculture is different from any other industry and I believe the more people that are showing their small piece of agriculture, helps to build our story. We face unique challenges and stressful situations but have some of the most rewarding payoffs in the end. I get to spend everyday doing what I love, raising my kids on the farm, and trying to push our farm to be better every year. I hope that I can address questions or concerns that you might have about farms and agriculture.
