Soy Bean Acreage Largest In History Of Crop

By K. E. Beeson Extension Agronomist, Purdue ; University

‘Soybeans have replaced oats‘ in 1 1939 as third ranking grain crop in acreage in Indiana for the first time in history, and are crowding wheat for second place in both acreage and value geeording to estimate figures recently released which place the State’s soybean acreage at 1,201,00 the oats acreage at 1,176,000 and the wheat acreage at 1,5563,000. In fact the soybean acreage amounts to .29 percent of the acreage devoted to corn. The phenomenal increase in the acreage of soybeans in the last ten years during which the acreage has increased fourfold, has been made possible by establishment of soybean processing plants located chiefly in the Corn Belt. The Agricultural Conservation Program the last two or three years also has given impetus to the campaign for more soybeans and legumes of all kinds. From a few scattered plants in 1929, with a capacity of several million bushels, the number has grown to approximately seventyfive, with a crushing capacity more than equal to the 60,000,000 bushel crop of 1939. #Six processing plants are located in Indiana with extensive processing and storing capacities. At least two of the largest plants are increasing their facilities this year, in anticipation of the most extensive processing of soybeans in the history of the crop. While a part of the 1938 crop was exported, the use made of the soybean oil meal for livestock feed, and of soybean oil for human food largely accounted for commercial utilization of the crop Most of the oil produced in recent years has been used in shortenings, butter substitutes, and other edible products to replace Imported and other domestic oils. ' Less than ten per cent of the an‘nual production is wused in the ‘manufacture of paint and varnish, ‘altho this is an important potential field for developing the use of soybean oil.

The most phenomena] increase in the use of soybean oil has been in the production of margarine. Use in this industry in the month of May, 1939, was 171 .per cent greater than in the same month of 1938, altho the consumption of margarine was less in the United States. This production in one month would absorb all the ofil from the crop in Indiama’s most extensive - soybean producing county. While the price of soybeans s determined by the commercial de‘mand for the meal and oil, and the relative price of competing products as well as export demand, and is therefore difficult to forecast, it is worth noting Lhatv rarely has the price of soybeans per bushel dropped below the price of wheat in the ten year period during which commerciat utilization has determined the price of soybeans. The production per acre compares favorably with the yield of wheat, and since the plant is a legume, the soil is also. slightly higher in nitrogen if the crop is combined.
