Dan Basse of AgResource said corn could reach $5.35 per bushel and climb to $5.70-6.00 by spring, with soybean meal rising to $500-540 per ton. He cited the lowest soybean stocks ever and near-record low corn stocks, plus rising US exports to China.
Corn is up about $2 per bushel since last summer and soybean meal up $150 per ton.
Very low US stocks combined with strong export demand from China point to further upside in corn and soymeal prices, squeezing dairy and livestock feed margins.
