Soybean prices to trade higher today: Angel Commodities

A bushel of soybeans are shown on display in the Monsanto research facility in Creve Coeur, Missouri, July 28, 2014. Monsanto engineers designed a chipper to shave a tiny tissue sample off a seed to analyze the seed's genetics. If the sample is positive for desirable genetic traits, the seed is still viable so a breeder can plant it in a field test and use it in the breeding process to create more seeds of its kind.

Are a under the soybean crop across the country  for the 2017 - 18 kharif was at 26,900 ha till last week, up 16.5%  on year.
