Max Armstrong reports that Brazil is going to plant soybeans like never before and if the weather cooperates the country is in for a record harvest – 300 million tons. That’s according to CONAB, the statistics agency from Brazil. The 14% boost is being attributed to two factors – more planted area and a boost to yield in recovering from drought. Meanwhile, a Farm Futures survey shows U.S. farmers plan to plant about what they did in 2022. Max compares yields for both countries.

Max Armstrong's Farm Progress America is a daily look at key issues in agriculture. It is produced and presented by Max Armstrong, veteran farm broadcaster and host of This Week in Agribusiness.
