Targeting enteric fermentation in livestock production represents an opportunity to curb nearly one-quarter of U.S. methane emissions.

Key Points:

Targeting enteric fermentation in livestock production represents an opportunity to curb nearly one-quarter of U.S. methane emissions.
Reducing enteric methane emissions can be both a climate win, and an economic imperative by reducing the cost of cattle feed.
The legislation directs the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) to expand domestic capacity to develop and increase the adoption of enteric methane solutions.
Furthermore, the bill would make enteric methane reduction products and practices eligible for cost-share under several USDA conservation programs.

To meet the growing demand for soybean oil, U.S. soybean processors are ramping up their production capacity, which is expected to increase by 23% over the next three years.

Key Points:

To meet the growing demand for soybean oil, U.S. soybean processors are ramping up their production capacity, which is expected to increase by 23% over the next three years.
However, overbuilding U.S. soybean crush capacity, combined with sustained levels of low processing margins could threaten the viability of new, high-cost plants in the long term.
The expansion of U.S. soybean processing capacity will lead to growing supplies of soybean meal, which could also pressure processor margins.
But for soybean processors, the question is whether domestic livestock supplies will be ample enough to absorb the additional soybean meal.
