All winter we hear about the condition of the South American soybean crop. For many of us, countries like Argentina feel very far away yet the impact on our farms has become incredibly large. Soybean prices have launched higher in 2012 which has created major opportunities for Canadian and American soybean producers. Demand has been strong but the South American crop yields have been weak which has tightened stocks.
