DTN analysis notes the USDA kept the US soybean crush at a record 2.49 billion bushels, supported by biofuel-driven soybean oil demand. Soybean meal prices have fallen to their lowest since March 2016 as record South American crush output pushes supplies higher, while soybean oil has reached its highest since October 2023.
Record crush and large meal supplies keep soybean meal cheap for feed users, while strong oil demand shifts crush economics toward oil.
