ASA Approves

Amid the debate about
organized reduction in
planting acreage for corn
and soybeans, the American
Soybean Association (ASA)
this week reaffirmed its
policy of taking positive
action to create demand
rather than the negative
action of reducing produc
tion.
Ralph Jackson, executive
vice president of the Hudson

ASA has been working for
the past 19 years to create
demand for soybeans by
operating a vigorous
overseas market develop
ment program.
“Should ASA officially or
unofficially sanction a
reduction of soybean
acreage," he said, “our
foreign customers would
react with predictable
horror. Many of them would
immediately seek additional
supplies of rapcseed, sun
flower, palm oil, coconut oil,
fishmeal or Brazilian
soybeans.”
Noting that about half of
the United States soybean
production is exported,
Jackson added, “Fifty per
cent of our market would
suffer irreparable harm.”
Emphasizing that planting
decisions are individual
choices made by each far
mer on the basis of
economics, Jackson said
ASA would neither tell
farmers to plant soybeans
“from fence row to fence
row” nor ask them to reduce
acreage.
“There is a possibility that
an organized effort to reduce
acreage could backfire and
result in increased
production,” he said. “If
farmers think everyone else
is reducing acreage, they

the expected price in
crease.”
The ASA official also said
that, through ASA efforts in
Washington, monitoring of
soybean exports may soon be
abolished.
However, he said, an
organized effort to reduce
soybean acreage would
“certainly result in delay on
this matter, and possibly
cause tightening of present
controls.”
Jackson said ASA adopted
its policy of taking positive
action to create demand
rather than recommending
acreage reductions several
years ago.
“Past experience proves
that the policy is sound and is
working in the best interest
of all soybean farmers,” he
said. “Unlike other major
crops, soybeans have never
been under acreage controls,
nor has soybean production
ever been subsidized by
government incentive
payments.
“It is imperative that we
maintain that policy even in
the face of adversity.”
