Although this isn't the sole reason for rising soy prices, it certainly has a major impact.

1) Third Consecutive Record Year for US Soy Exports
I read China is 40% of the US export market, so they'll keep buying until a critical price level. Luckily, soy has gone down from $414 to $401 recently, so perhaps the peak has been reached. Good news!
