# Soybeans Rally with the Help of Meal

> Soybean futures closed higher on February 25, with March soybeans up 8 3/4 cents to $11.48 1/4, supported by strength in soybean meal. Forecasts for drier weather in Argentina during its end-of-season period added to meal strength. The EPA is expected to send its 2026 biofuel mandates to the White House OMB this week.

## Why it matters

Dry Argentine weather tightens expected South American crush and meal supply, supporting soymeal prices for feed buyers. Pending EPA biofuel mandates could lift soybean oil demand and support the crush margin.
