# Triple-whammy poised to punish soybean prices - Brownfield Ag News

> Todd Hubbs of the University of Illinois warns that a large Brazilian soybean crop, expected record U.S. soybean acreage, and weak exports could push soybean prices lower. He notes USDA has cut soybean exports four months in a row as China sources more beans from Brazil. The Prospective Planting report due March 29 is seen as a key test, with an Allendale survey projecting more than 92 million U.S. soybean acres.

## Why it matters

Heavier Brazilian supply and lost Chinese demand for U.S. beans point to bearish pressure on soybeans and the meal used in feed. A larger U.S. acreage figure would add further downside.
