Show ; Soybean Grades Lower Quality of the 1940 soybean crop in the United States, totaling approximately ap-proximately 80,000,000 bushels, was I slightly lower than that of the 1939 j crop, an agricultural marketing service survey shows.. The report I is based upon inspected receipts at I markets during December. About 74 I per cent of the soybeans inspected during the month graded No. 3 or better, compared with 85 per cent in December, 1939. Excess moisture and foreign material were important impor-tant degrading factors, it was said. |
