it's kat! 🇵🇸✊

ever soak way too many soybeans for your homemade tofu & wonder what the fuck you're going to do with them? let me introduce you to sweet & savoury korean simmered soybeans. easy (i mean, they were actually successful for not-a-chef me) & a true gastronomic delight.

Shaun Rein w China Market Research Group: “#China is not buying #American oil but is now buying #Canadian #oil. China is not buying American #soybeans but buying #Brazilian soybeans. China is not buying American #Boeings but buying France's #Airbuses. China is not buying American #beef but buying #Australian. China has decided basically not to buy anything from America and aside from #semiconductors, can easily replace American made products.” #trump #chaos #economy #trade #tariffs #agriculture

US #stocks extended already deep losses as traders focused on remarks from #FederalReserve Chair #JeromePowell amid global economic turmoil caused by #Trump’s sweeping #tariffs.

The S&P 500 was last down 4.3%, while the Nasdaq was down by about the same amount.

#Oil plunged to its lowest level since 2021 & commodities including #NaturalGas & #soybeans also dived as #China retaliated against #Trump's aggressive tariffs.

Bytes Europe · Purdue economists discuss technology, farm profitability – AgriNewsDENVER — Economists from Purdue University discussed the role of technology in improving farm profitability at the 2025 Commodity Classic.Technology can boost production, streamline processes on the farm and boost efficiencies — but their effectiveness varies from farm to farm.There are five managerial levers a farmer can pull, said Michael Langemeier, director of the Center for Commercial Agriculture at Purdue.1. Output price: Manage price for what you get for what you produce.2. Yield: Manage how much output you produce.3. Costs: Manage how much it costs you to produce.4. Assets: Manage your balance sheet/what tools you use to produce.5. People: Manage

This is my favorite photo for demonstrating the impact of #LightPollution on physiology. The image was taken by shows a soybean field illuminated by a badly directed streetlight.

What's happening here is that soybeans are supposed to grow leaves in the early part of summer, and as nights get longer, they should make #soybeans and turn brown. In the green area, the plants don't understand what time of year it is, and it's therefore a complete loss for the farmer.

The reason I love the photo so much is because you can see the shadow of the light mast on the field.

The photo was taken by Dwaine Eddie McGriff & Ben Tankersley, and originally posted to Xitter (the post no longer exists).

The problem could be entirely solved by using a streetlight with strong backlight shielding (i.e. shining the light only on the roadway).

Image of a field next to a roadway with a light mast. The plants nearest the light are green, the plants further away are brown. A brown area corresponding to the shadow of the mast extends to the bottom of the image.

EurekAlert!Rooting for resistance: How soybeans tackle nematode invaders is no secret anymore“Fight-or-flight” is not an option for plants, unfortunately, when it comes to pathogen attacks. Instead, plants opt for “do-or-die.” A deeper insight into the genetic mechanisms that enable plants to resist pathogen infections has equipped researchers with tools to tackle the most devastating pathogens in agriculture. Using advanced RNA sequencing, researchers have recently uncovered how varieties of soybean respond to different types of soybean cyst nematodes (SCNs), with potential implications for developing more resilient crops and reducing reliance on chemical treatments.

(2/2) 20-60% of global crop-producing areas may face more severe #drought in future. #Soybeans are esp. vulnerable in US & #China. The risk of simultaneous #droughts in major food-producing countries increases markedly, esp. in China & #USA = higher risk of food crises: doi.org/10.3390/atmos16010034

MDPIIntensified Drought Threatens Future Food Security in Major Food-Producing CountriesDrought is one of the most severe natural disasters globally, with its frequency and intensity escalating due to climate change, posing significant threats to agricultural production. This is particularly critical in major food-producing regions, where drought profoundly impacts crop yields. Such impacts can trigger food crises in affected regions and disrupt global food trade patterns, thereby posing substantial risks to global food security. Based on historical data, this study examines the yield response characteristics of key crops—maize, rice, soybean, spring wheat, and winter wheat—under drought conditions during their growth cycles, highlighting variations in drought sensitivity among major food-producing countries. The findings reveal that maize and soybean yield in China, the United States, and Brazil are among the most sensitive and severely affected by drought. Furthermore, using precipitation simulation data from CMIP6 climate models, the study evaluates drought trends and associated crop yield risks under different future emission scenarios. Results indicate that under high-emission scenarios, crops face heightened drought risks during their growth cycles, with China and the United States particularly vulnerable to yield reductions. Additionally, employing copula functions, the study analyzes the probability of simultaneous drought occurrences across multiple countries, shedding light on the evolving trends of multicountry drought events in major food-producing regions. These findings provide a scientific basis for assessing global food security risks and offer policy recommendations to address uncertainties in food supply under climate change.
