A report commissioned by the Soy Transportation Coalition says dredging the Lower Mississippi River would benefit farmers by maintaining a reliable link to domestic and international markets. The Missouri Soybean checkoff distributed the summary, with Executive Director Mike Steenhoek quoted on the cost-effectiveness of the project.
Reliable low-cost river access supports Gulf export basis for soybeans and corn, which is a modest long-term positive for U.S. soybean and corn prices. The report does not change near-term supply or demand.
After 206 past bullish logistics events, Soybeans moved a median +0.5% over 5 sessions (56% higher; middle half -1.3% to +2.6%), and +1.4% over 20.
