Brownfield reports that the USDA cut its current-year corn price forecast by about 5 cents and its soybean meal price by about $10 per ton. University of Missouri economist Scott Brown cites $4.80 corn and $380 soybean meal as moving in the right direction.
He notes uncertainty over South American crop size and possible shifts toward US corn planting in 2024.
Lower USDA price forecasts point to cheaper corn and soymeal for feed buyers. Uncertainty over South American supply could still support prices later in the year.
