Soybeans: Seasonal Trends in Marketing and Use

Abstract: Soybean crushings and exports are seasonally high in the fall, with November usually the peak month. September is the low month, since many processing plants close for repairs and maintenance before the new crop comes in and exporters wait for lower priced soybeans during harvest. Soybean crushings are relatively steady throughout the year (with about 8 % of the year's total processed each month), whereas exports vary considerably. The 1967/68 marketing year has followed the usual seasonal use patterns. After the first 9 months, it appears that soybean crushings will total around 575 million bushels and exports around 270 million bushels .
