Why soybeans can be seasonal

Spring planting

Planting pace, acreage and soil conditions can shift expectations for the coming crop.

Summer weather

Heat and rainfall during key development stages can quickly change expected yields.

Autumn harvest

Harvest brings new supply and replaces estimates with realized production data.

South America

Brazilian and Argentine crop cycles create a second recurring seasonal influence.
