The soybean harvest is here and China remains absent from the U.S. market. The question remains, where does the crop go? “I sold a lot of beans for delivery come harvest all the way back in March and April,” said Dazey, North Dakota farmer Justin Sherlock. “We’re currently delivering some to the crush plant in Spiritwood; we have some contracts with shuttle loading elevators and I’ll probably end up storing a few beans.” Sherlock, who is president of the North Dakota Soybean Growers Association, said the market is working. “Many grain elevators are still taking soybeans and are able to find homes for the crop. Some of the elevators are saying they are getting commitments to move beans in December through February. Some of them may go to export, some of them may go to other states to get crushed.”
