August, 2004 Genetically Modified Crops in the United States Genetically modified food and agricultural biotechnology have generated considerable interest and controversy in the United States and around the world. Some tout the technology's benefits while others raise questions about environmental and food safety issues. This paper provides background information regarding the adoption of genetically modified plants among domestic and international farms and is one in a series that the Pew Initiative on Food and Biotechnology has developed to address common questions that are frequently asked about genetically modified food and agricultural biotechnology. Crop varieties developed by genetic engineering were first introduced for commercial production in 1996. Today, these crops are planted on more than 167 million acres worldwide. U.S. farmers are by far the largest producers of genetically modified (GM) crops. In addition to summarizing the extent to which GM crops have been adopted in the United States compared to other countries, this factsheet also shows which GM crops U.S. farmers grow and which states plant the most GM varieties. Recent innovations in biotechnology allow scientists to select specific genes from one organism and introduce them into another to confer a desired trait. This technology can be used to produce new varieties of plants or animals more quickly than conventional breeding methods and to introduce traits not possible through traditional techniques. The principal agricultural biotechnology products marketed to date have been genetically modified crops engineered to tolerate herbicides and/or resist pests. Crops carrying herbicide-tolerant genes were developed so that farmers could spray their fields to eliminate weeds without damaging the crop. Likewise, pest-resistant crops have been engineered to contain a gene for a protein from the soil bacterium

Topics U.S.Soybeans Feed Industry Industrial Use Others About ASA Miracle Crops -Soybean Market Data The soybean (Glycine max) is often called the miracle crop. It is the world's foremost provider of protein and oil. The bushy, green soybean plant is a legume related to clover, peas and alfalfa. Farmers plant soybeans in the late spring. During the summer, soybeans flower and produce 60-80 pods, each holding three pea-sized beans. In the early fall, farmers harvest their crop for these beans which are high in protein and oil. A 60-pound bushel of soybeans yields about 48 pounds of protein-rich meal and 11 pounds of oil. More soybeans are grown in the United States than in any other country in the world. In 2002, U.S. soybean farmers harvested 2,730 billion bushels (74.31 million metric tons) of soybeans. Half the total value of the U.S. soybean crop was exported as whole soybeans, soybean meal and soybean oil. As early as 5,000 years ago, farmers in China grew soybeans. In 1804, a Yankee clipper ship brought soybeans to the U.S. When leaving China, sailors loaded the ship with soybeans as inexpensive ballast. When they arrived in the U.S. they dumped the soybeans to make room for cargo. In 1829, U.S. farmers first grew soybeans. They raised a variety for soy sauce. During the Civil War, soldiers used soybeans as "coffee berries" to brew "coffee" when real coffee was scarce. In the late 1800s significant numbers of farmers began to grow soybeans as forage for cattle. In 1904, at the Tuskegee Institute in Tuskegee, Alabama, George Washington Carver began studying the soybean. His discoveries changed the way people thought about the soybean; no longer was it just a forage crop. Now its beans provided valuable protein and oil.

Alabama now has 13 counties reported positive with rust; Florida has 21; Georgia has 14; Mississippi has two; and South Carolina has two. There were 34 counties reporting soybean rust in the month of August with two reports so far in September. New reports of soybean rust are expected to continue within states already reporting rust and adjacent states to the north. With the potential movement of spores by Hurricane Katrina to the north, chances of deposition and infection increase beyond states that already have reported soybean rust. Scouting Critical To Managing Asian Soybean Rust Scouting is the backbone of any disease for effective management of Asian soybean rust. Scouting must begin early in the crops development.

Soybeans and snap beans are the only host crops for this nematode that are commonly grown in N.C. Crop rotation is useful in managing soybean cyst nematode: year 1 nonhost crop year 2 cyst-resistant soybean variety year 3 nonhost crop year 4 cyst-susceptible soybean variety Growing small grains in winter is not equivalent to growing a nonhost crop for an entire year. If soybean cyst nematode populations are very high, grow nonhost crops for at least two consecutive years. Three years is even better. If high populations of cyst nematodes occur after a year of cyst-resistant soybeans, see Note below. This sample indicates an infestation of the soybean cyst nematode. Take another sample from this field before planting soybeans or snap beans. This sample indicates a high population of soybean cyst nematodes on or following a cyst-resistant variety. Therefore, currently available varieties with the same cyst-nematode resistance will probably not be effective against this population. Choose a variety with different resistance. See comments on managing nematodes on soybean with resistant varieties following Note below.

The soybean crop looks quite well, even though weather conditions earlier in the year were less than ideal, according to John Eveland, Humboldt County Extension Education Director. "With the rainy spring, soybean planting was spread out. Some were planted early and others much later. There were areas, which drowned out and had to be replanted. We had a shortage of heat units in July and August, but the late August and early September heat and humidity have been good for crops. In general, crops have progressed quite well," Eveland said. Heat units are a measure used for the heat needed to grow successful crops. "The beans developed slower than normal because of cooler than normal temperatures. Earlier in the year, a record crop had been predicted. Bean development has not been quite as good as we had hoped. Barring a real early frost, we are still optimistic yields will turn out pretty good," Eveland said.

Search farmdoc web August 23, 2004 QUESTIONS ABOUT SIZE OF CORN AND SOYBEAN CROPS This is the time of year when corn and soybean markets focus on the potential size of the U.S. crops. As usual, there are uncertainties about the size of this year's crops even after the first USDA forecast. Uncertainties center on both acreage and potential yield. The USDA's current estimates for planted acreage and acreage harvested for grain are based on the large quarterly agricultural survey conducted in June. Typically, monthly crop production surveys do not revisit the acreage issue. The question of planted and harvested acreage is posed in the December quarterly agricultural survey and reported in the Annual Crop Production report released in January. January acreage estimates typically differ from June forecasts by less than 1 percent, but have been as large as 2 percent for soybeans and 2.5 percent for corn. Most questions this year center around the potential for harvested acreage due to early season flooding and ponding and to the late maturity of some crops in northern growing areas. The USDA's weekly report of crop progress indicated maturity of the corn crop is well behind the normal pace in Wisconsin, Minnesota, and the Dakotas. The soybean crop appears later than usual in Michigan, Minnesota, and Wisconsin. These "late" states account for 21 percent of the estimated acreage of corn to be harvested for grain and 15 percent of the expected harvested acreage of soybeans. Some of the acreage could go unharvested for grain if maturity is insufficient before the first killing frost.

Effects of Drought on Soybeans Ron Sholar and Kent Keim OSU Department of Plant and Soil Sciences T HE CURRENT drought is having a profoundly negative effect on Oklahoma row crops. While no crop is escaping the grip of this weather, irrigation where available is a benefit. However, even with irrigation, the extremely high temperatures are limiting crop yield potential. Relationships among temperature, water, and soybean development are complex. The ideal temperature for soybean growth and development is around 86° F. Day temperatures above 95° F, coupled with low humidity, have been shown to reduce seed set and potential seed vigor. Drought symptoms appear early as leaf wilting and reduced growth. Nodule formation, development and nitrogen fixation are reduced when soil temperatures rise above 90° F. In general, soybeans can tolerate short periods of high temperatures if supplied with adequate moisture but the crop cannot tolerate high temperatures indefinitely. With temperatures routinely running above 95° combined with the lack of rainfall, yield potential for the soybean crop is being lost. The greatest concern for growers is whether soybeans still have a chance to make a crop or if serious consideration should be given to cutting the soybeans for hay. The ability of the soybean crop to tolerate these drought conditions depends on:

Skip the navigation header body Released: April 10, 2001 Soybean Crop Looks Huge, But So Does Demand MANHATTAN, Kan. – At first blush, the record soybean crop recently predicted by the U.S. Department of Agriculture may appear to add so much to already-large stocks that the result would be burdensome supplies. But global demand may be strong enough to warrant that kind of production, a Kansas State University economist said. U.S. soybean growers intend to plant a record 76.7 million acres to soybeans this year, the USDA reported on March 30. That would be up 3 percent from last year. Add that kind of production to near-record soybean stocks – 1,405 million bushels reported in March – and supplies could look burdensome to some. However, when measured as a percent of usage, the stocks do not appear excessive, said Bill Tierney, crops marketing specialist with K-State Research and Extension. "March 1 marked the midpoint of the soybean marketing year and it is useful to compare March 1 stocks with the total disappearance in the first half of the year," Tierney said. "On average, March 1 stocks are 105 percent of first-half usage. This year, stocks are expected to be only 85 percent of usage, a bit less than last year’s 87 percent but much more than the record low stocks-to-use ratio of 70 percent set in 1997." Some market analysts point to the record South American soy crop and argue that just looking at U.S. stocks is irrelevant, he said.

Typically and primarily, this occurs in small, low-lying areas of farm fields that "drown out" relatively often. This spring, however, whole fields will be lost in northwest Minnesota. Eight to twelve inch rains that fell over large areas earlier this week have devastated farmers, business owners, and homeowners in more than 12 northwest Minnesota counties. In many areas the waters have not yet receded, and many farmers are seriously concerned about their crops. Although soybean is generally rather sensitive to excess water, soybeans can survive underwater for a week or more under ideal conditions. Generally, soybeans tolerate 48 hours under water quite well, but flooding for 4 to 6 days can reduce stands, vigor, and eventually seed yield. Many factors determine how well a soybean crop will tolerate flooding. First, a few important definitions must be adressed. Field flooding may occur by either
