#Illinois Democrat governor skirts #Trump to sign direct deal with #Indonesia to protect its soybean farmers
“As the Trump tariffs have shifted, affecting demand from buyers like #China, expanding relationships across SEA will help Illinois farmers reach new customers and reduce reliance on any single export market.
China accounted for nearly 50% of U.S. #soybean exports in 2024, but it dropped to just 18.7% in 2025 amid renewed trade tensions.”

"Uncertainties in future food security will remain large."
"Out of 42 models, 10 models show climate outcomes at a 2 °C warming that are well beyond the multimodel mean at 4 °C of global warming (Fig. 3b). This stresses the need for a careful assessment of their plausibility by evaluating the underlying physical processes. Yet, regardless of pending plausibility checks, these results also call for examining the potential impacts of extreme climate outcomes on global crop production through crop modelling, which can incorporate factors such as irrigation, soil properties and complex management practices."
Emanuele Bevacqua, Erich Fischer, Jana Sillmann, Jakob Zscheischler (2026). "Moderate global warming does not rule out extreme global climate outcomes" https://doi.org/10.1038/s41586-026-10237-9

Nature has its way in dissuading humans from over-consuming stuff that harms us!
"Alpha-gal syndrome is a type of food allergy. It can happen after a tick bite. The allergy is to red meat and other products that come from mammals. Alpha-gal syndrome can be life-threatening."

#JohnnysSeeds - #Soybean - Key Growing Information
"SCIENTIFIC NAME:
Glycine maxCULTURE:
After the last frost date plant 2" apart, 1" deep, rows 15–30" apart in any good garden soil. Upright plants are easier to cultivate. For nitrogen-fixing inoculants, which can increase yields,use those formulated for soybean crops. In extremely rich soils, plants sometimes exhibit overly lush growth, growing too tall to stand up. In this case, plants should be hilled up with soil. Soybeans can stand somewhat dry conditions, but irrigation may be necessary during drought periods.FRESH SOYBEAN HARVEST AND COOKING:
For determinate varieties, most pods ripen at once. Clip plants near base when the beans are plump in the pods. Beans attain their highest fresh weight just as pods begin to lose their bright green color. Hand-strip remaining leaves and tie small bunches of plants for retailing. Shelling tips: strip pods, rinse, and steam or boil for about five minutes or until tender, after which the beans can be easily popped from the pods. Boil in salt water to complete cooking. Package for freezing at this point.DRY SOYBEAN HARVEST:
When at least 90% of the leaves have fallen and the pods are dry, pull the plants out by the roots. Complete drying under cover if weather is wet.THRESHING:
Depending on quantity, thresh by (1) shelling pods individually; (2) holding several plants by the roots and banging back and forth inside a barrel or trash can; (3) stepping on a large, closed bag full of dry plants; or (4) using a properly adjusted threshing machine.STORAGE:
Make sure beans are dry (max. 9% moisture) and then store in a cool place or freeze to control storage insect pests."Source:

👀Great, hopeful review on one avenue to increase #crop yield 🌿🧪.
Context - we'll need 35-50% more food globally by 2050 but there are few signs that we're getting there. Yes, many issues in this space.But photosynthesis is now one of the plant metabolic pathways where we have really good understanding, sufficient to see meaningful improvements of yield in the field, in #rice, #potato, #soybean. This is detailed in the review ➡️ https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cell.2025.10.033 now led by Prof. Lisa Ainsworth.
TL,DR summary article ➡️ https://phys.org/news/2025-12-path-photosynthesis-food.html
And RIP researchers Steve Long and Amy Marshall-Colon, taken from us much too soon this year.

I've been following a bunch of news about #soybean #farmers lately, and it amused me so much that I made a video about it.
In it, I talk about how American soyboys voted for #donaldtrump in 2024 even though he started a #trade war with #china back in his first presidency that caused their prices (and market) to go down.
I excerpt the inimitable @sarahtaber in it and I hope you follow her.
Please watch and share far and wide! I'm a real person, so reach out!

From Industry to #EPA: #Lobbyist Now Oversees #Pesticide Rules
#KyleKunkler fought for a restricted #weedkiller that can harm plants and wildlife when it drifts to nearby land.
Until recently, Kyle Kunkler was the top lobbyist for America’s #soybean industry. In that job he once boasted of helping to keep a controversial weedkiller called #dicamba in use.
He’s now at the E.P.A., which wants to allow its use.
