> A Farm Progress article reports USDA chief economist Seth Meyer's comments on how La Nina could affect 2022-23 weather, after USDA's March 31 planting report projected 90.9 million acres of US soybeans. Meyer said it is early and the relationships are loose, and more than 70% of the winter wheat crop was in drought.

Weather risk for US soybeans and winter wheat supports prices, but the official view is that the link to the next crop is still uncertain. The effect is a moderate, not decisive, price driver.
