Soybean prices are on the rise for the third trading session as the U.S. Department of Agriculture inspected 6.515 million bushels for export last week, more than double the amount of soybeans during the prior week. The USDA predicts that inventories in August will be 5.4 percent lower than June’s numbers. Analysts cite strong demand with farmers not willing to part with their crop for the spike in futures pricing. The soybean crop in the U.S. was valued at nearly $32 billion in 2009, second only to corn at $49 billion. Investors wanting to play the trend in soybean prices and increased export demand can do so with a variety of ETFs. The iPath DJ-UBS Grains ETN
