I'd love to know how many farmers actually planted soybeans this year. The commodity farmers in my area choose each spring whether the market looks better for corn or soybeans, and plant accordingly. It had been almost all soybeans for the last 3 years, and this year, I only saw one soybean field. Everyone else chose corn this year.

The benefit of living in a free country is that all these stats are available.

We'll see if the Trump USDA publishes this stuff next year.

Yeah, that reports acreage and production (estimated), which isn't the same thing as "how many farmers?". It does confirm that soybeans are down farther than they have been in years. I'm sure the more granular data is there somewhere, but I poked around for a few minutes and did not find it. Ah, well. Thanks for trying.
