Jr farm minister says maintaining 2016-17 pulses output a challenge.
Maintaining the record pulses output of 2016-17 (Jul-Jun) this year would be a challenge as some farmers have shifted to other crops looking for better realisations. Last year we harvested record pulses and reached close to self-sufficiency. This year it seems a challenge. Indian farmers harvested 22.95 million tonne of pulses in 2016-17, up from 16.35 million tonne previous year, according to the fourth advance estimates of farm ministry. National Bulk Handling Corp Pvt Ltd has estimated India’s kharif pulses output for 2017-18 at 8.5 million tonne, less than 9.4 million tonne harvested a year ago. India’s pulses output seen falling this year as the bumper crop last year weighed on prices, discouraging farmers from sowing pulses.

The most active November futures contract traded at 2,761 ringgits (41,704rupees) per tonne, down 6 ringgits from the previous close. An appreciation in the Malaysian currency against the dollar further supported the fall in prices. Strength in the ringgit against the greenback makes palm oil unattractive for Malaysian exporters.
Canada frost damage to soybeans.
Frost damage to soybeans depends on the stage of the soybeans and how cold it gets and for how long. Frost is possible two days Wednesday morning in parts of Manitoba. Soybean growth stage is determined by examining the pods. It is all about the pods, so don’t get distracted by the condition of the leaves.
