Excerpt from Fats and Oils Situation: February, 1977 Soybean supplies for the current marketing year total million bushels (41 million metric tons), 13 percent less than in Although demand is expected to continue strong, total use will likely decline 4 or 5 percent because of tight supplies. The soybean crush may range about 795 to 825 million bushels, down from last season's record 865 mil lion. Through December the crush totaled 288 mil lion bushels, 11 million more than the previous record of september-december 1975. Such a heavy. Crush in the first 4 months of the season indicates that the rate during the remainder of 1976/ 77 will be curtailed - possibly to a january-august monthly average of 65 million bushels, about 8 mil lion below the 1976 rate.
