Soybean Acreage to Expand in U.S., Especially in Northern Plains States in 2024

The United States is poised to see a slight increase in soybean acreage overall, with significant growth expected in the Northern Plains states for the 2024 planting season. This expansion reflects farmers’ response to market demands and climatic conditions favorable for soybean cultivation in these regions. The shift also indicates a strategic move by growers to diversify crops and improve soil health, benefiting from soybeans’ nitrogen-fixing capabilities.
