This year forecast (for Brazil) is for 143.7 million tons of grain to be harvested I assume you got your figures from a report similar to this one: cnbc.com BRASILIA, Brazil - Brazil's statistics agency is forecasting a 9 percent increase in national grain production this year as more fields were planted amid rising world food prices. The agency says Brazil's 2008 grain harvest will rise to 145 million tons from 133 million tons in 2007, with the biggest gains in rice, soybeans, oats and wheat. A Thursday statement from the agency said grain fields are expected to cover 47 million hectares by the end of 2008, or 4.3 percent more territory than they did in 2007. Soybeans are not a grain, old buddy, but a legume. So aggregating them into grain production figures is a bit wrong. Actually, a lot wrong unless you are willing to say black is white and white is black. en.wikipedia.org Wheat is a grain, oats are too as are barley and sorghum but soybeans...naaah. en.wikipedia.org Once again proving you don't know beans about.....beans. vbg
