Brazil Expected To Become Top Producer Of Soybeans

A USDA report last month stated that Brazil will likely pass the U.S. as the world's number one producer of soybeans.

 

Jon Driedger is vice-president of LeftField Commodity Research.

 

"These areas of the world are increasing in production and it's just kind of further confirmation that as the U.S. and Canada, our relative importance shrinks a little bit as other countries in the world increase production and increase their footprint in global export markets," he said. "I think conditions in South America are for the most part fairly good. We're anticipating a large crop again, not a shock to the markets, just sort of a general confirmation again of a trend that has been taking place over a period of time."

John Deere Forage Harvester Walk Around | 2026 United States Custom Harvesters Convention

I recently attended the 2026 United States Custom Harvester Convention in Des Moines Iowa. All of the forage harvester manufacturers did a product walk around of their machines. I have already uploaded the Claas, Krone and New Holland product walk arounds and this is the final one for forage harvesters. I will soon be sharing all of the combine walk-arounds from the convention.
