Abstract

U.S. soybean acreage has nearly tripled in the postwar era, rising from around 12 million acres in 1947-49 to a record 34 million indicated for 1965. Important factors have been: (1) New varieties of soybeans better suited to both old and new production areas; (2) the shift of acreage formerly in oats to soybeans; (3) acreage restrictions on corn, wheat, and cotton; (4) the sharp expansion in market outlets for soybeans and products; and (5) favorable prices received by soybean producers. Rapid increases in the Delta, Lake, and other States have reduced the relative importance of the Corn Belt States from about 70 percent of the total U.S. soybean acreage in 1947-49 to 55 percent in 1965.
