I think you are correct about too many beans grown on CRP acres last year.
What is sustainable about plowing established grass on Highly Erodeable Land
.Sounds as though the market dropped since I talked to Roberts Seed ( a local

Contracts , None available this year due to excess and carryover throughout
USA. They are writing contracts for SOY M 10 first come , first served. So
lets all eat lots of Tofu, I like it! Rich
