WORLD SOYBEAN PROSPECTS 
 
     Warmer, drier in the Midwest improves conditions for developing soybeans. 
Most of the remaining planting is in the east. 
    More rain would benefit developing soybeans in the northern Plains. 
    Favorable weather for developing soybeans in the Delta states. 
    Mostly favorable harvest weather in central Argentina. 
    Planting of soybeans in China would typically begin during May and continue 
during June. Key growing areas of China's northeast soybean belt have favorable 
conditions for planting and early development, except it may be too dry in 
western areas at this time. 
    Planting of India's soybean crop would normally begin later in June as the 
Monsoon rainy season reaches into the area. Early planting may begin as showers 
have recently reached the soybean belt in India.
