Nov-21 soybean futures fell sharply after the USDA Grain Stocks report, which revised 2020/21 production up by about 81 million bushels. Dec-21 soybean meal closed the week down more than $13 per ton at $326.90 per short ton.
A surprise upward production revision lifted supply expectations and pushed soybeans and meal lower, reducing feed protein costs in the near term.
