USDA Lowers Soybean Yield In November WASDE Report

Nov 09, 2021

The USDA released its November WASDE report Tuesday morning.

Neil Townsend is Chief Market Analyst with FarmLink Marketing Solutions.

"I think the big number that the market is going to be talking about is the fact that they lowered soybean yield. That was relatively unexpected. People were kind of thinking that the yield would actually be ticked up a bit. They took it from 51.5 down to 51.2. That doesn't sound like much but the expectation was that the yield was going to go up."

Townsend says there were negligible changes to wheat if any.

Corn stocks were raised in line with expectations that the trade had. The yield was raised half a bushel to 177 bushels per acre, the average trade guess was 176.9.

What happens when a farm buys its first Fendt? For Peter Watson Jones Ltd, the Fendt 726 Vario Gen7 has exceeded expectations from day one. For Jack, Farm Manager at Peter Watson Jones Ltd in North Shropshire, UK, the Fendt 726 Vario Gen7 wasn't just another tractor purchase. It was the farm's first experience with the Fendt brand.

Operating across a 1,200-acre arable farm alongside a 250,000-head broiler enterprise, the business has evolved significantly over the last decade, moving to a straight arable system with fewer staff and machines. Since arriving on the farm, the Fendt 726 Vario has established itself as the main drilling and cultivations tractor, earning its place through performance, versatility and efficiency. Whether it's handling large-scale cultivations or working with a new 4.5m strip-till drill, the tractor continues to impress.

Jack highlights its excellent manoeuvrability, operator comfort and ability to deliver strong pulling power at low engine speeds. The result? Outstanding fuel efficiency without compromising performance. Reliability has also been a key factor, with dependable backup from the team at TR Machinery helping to keep the tractor working when it matters most.

?? Watch as Jack shares why the Fendt 726 Vario Gen7, the farm's first Fendt, has made such a strong impression and become an integral part of their operation.
