U.S. SOYBEAN MARKETING LOAN NOT NEEDED - LYNG U.S. Agriculture Secretary Richard Lyng said a marketing loan for soybeans would serve no present purpose because the U.S. price is not above the world price. Asked in an interview if it was time to consider a marketing loan for soybeans, Lyng said, "I don't think so. I don't think the world price is lower than our price anyway." However, the USDA secretary said that if current conditions of surplus production persisted, it might be appropriate to consider a marketing loan. "I suppose that under that condition there is a danger our exports will continue to drop and that the government will continue to accumulate large stocks of soybeans," he said. "It might be (worth contemplating a marketing loan), if there were a world market that was lower than our market."
