Soybean futures hit two-year highs after USDA cut projected US soybean yields by about 1 million tons in its September report. USDA raised its projected soybean price to $9.25 per bushel and corn to $3.50, with dry weather in Iowa and the August derecho cutting yield expectations.
Lower US yields and higher projected prices raise feed grain and soymeal costs for buyers, with continued strength expected while dry conditions and strong export demand persist.
