USDA data showed U.S. soybean crush in November at 191 million bushels, a record for the month and up from 174.6 million a year earlier, though slightly below expectations. Crush for the first quarter of the marketing year reached 559 million bushels, 35 million above last year.
Argentine rain was also noted as insufficient for dry topsoil.
Record crush increases soybean meal output and supports meal prices, while strong demand keeps soybean supplies tight for feed buyers.
