WASHINGTON - Sep 12/24 - SNS -- Soybean production for beans is forecast at a record high 4.59 billion bushels, down slightly from the previous forecast but up 10% from 2023, according to the latest USDA production forecasts.
Based on conditions as of September 1, yields are expected to average a record high 53.2 bushels per acre, unchanged from the previous forecast but up 2.6 bushels from 2023. If realized, this would be the highest yield on record for the Nation.
