# Soybean crush margins on fire - McKeany-Flavell

> Soybean crushing margins have widened to around $1.60 a bushel following a recent soybean meal rally, encouraging plants to run near capacity. USDA projects a record 2017/18 total crush of 1.950 billion bushels, with a possibility of a further increase limited by physical capacity. Soybean exports have potential to fall further.
