All soybeans might work this year (even if they were planted there last year), but it's a temporary solution as they can't keep growing the same crop every year (soil gets depleted of nutrients and nasties - bugs, worms, bacteria, fungus, etc. - take hold) and will need to rotate to another crop. Hopefully, things will be better next year.
You're certainly correct. The way prices are going up, I have a feeling that sometime in the next few months he's going to tell me it's too pricey to plant anything...no profit in it.

They could use cover crops and till them in for fertilizer.
