The CEO of the Minnesota Soybean Growers Association expects a two to three percent increase in soybean acres statewide this year.
Tom Slunecka says a recent survey of 46 Minnesota counties coincides with national expectations of higher soybean plantings and less corn.
“There’s a lot of risk out there this year, and I think that’s going to drive most of these decisions. Corn being a more expensive crop to plant and harvest, when you think about the amount of trucking necessary it just plays into that risk.
