China No Longer The Biggest U.S. Soybean Buyer

China has fallen from their top spot as the biggest buyer of U.S. soybeans.

Argentina has replaced China as the number one buyer due to recent trade tensions between China and the United States.

All eyes will be on U.S. President, Donald Trump, and the Chinese President, Xi Jinping, for their meeting at the G20 Summit in Buenos Aires, Argentina Friday, November 30 to Saturday, December 1.

Residue Management

Video: Residue Management

Residue Management conservation practice manages the amount, orientation, and distribution of crop and other plant residue on the soil surface year-round while limiting soil-disturbing activities used to grow and harvest crops in systems where the field surface is tilled prior to planting. This video explores how Ryan McKenzie implemented this conservation practice on his farm in Samson, Alabama.

Practice benefits:

• Increases organic matter

• Improves air quality

• Decreases energy costs

• Reduces erosion

• Improves soil health

The Conservation at Work video series was created to increase producer awareness of common conservation practices and was filmed at various locations throughout the country. Because conservation plans are specific to the unique resource needs on each farm and also soil type, weather conditions, etc., these videos were designed to serve as a general guide to the benefits of soil and water conservation and landowners should contact their local USDA office for individual consultation.
