Last Friday's USDA export sales report only served to re-affirm the torrid pace of U.S. soybean and soymeal exports in the current marketing year. It is becoming increasingly clear that there have to be sizable cancellations of U.S. soybean export sales to manage supplies. U.S. Soy Exports Set Torrid Pace Last Friday's USDA export sales report only served to re-affirm the torrid pace of U.S. soybean and soymeal exports in the current marketing year. The report shows that U.S. soybean exports in 2013/14 totaled 28.17 MMT (1.034 billion bushels) as of 16 January. This was 14.5 percent ahead of the pace from a year ago. Unshipped export sales of U.S. soybeans on 16 January totaled 13.979 MMT (513.6 million bushels) versus 8.352 MMT (306.8 mi...

Illuminating the value of technical research
On behalf of a commodity producer organization, WPI evaluated the outputs from a project that featured a $5 million investment into technical research over multiple years. WPI’s team captured the results of this extensive effort and synthesized them for presentation to the organization’s governing board; among the findings uncovered and presented for the first time was the development of genomic traits proven, via rigorous testing, to provide crop yield advantages of 50 percent or more to U.S. farmers in times of drought. Capturing measurable results from long-term efforts can be challenging. Educating clients on the dynamics of success measurement when quantifiable results are not readily available requires deep client-consultant collaboration and an ability to consider both near- and long-term client aspirations with market/policy dynamics – attributes that WPI brings to every consulting engagement.
