Soybean futures fell early in the week as forecasts shifted and showers fell in parts of the Corn Belt, shifting the ridge west. Soymeal was supported by an explosion at the ADM Decatur plant, and corn and wheat also came under pressure.
Weather-driven selloffs in grains weigh on feed grain prices, while the ADM plant outage and tight cash meal supplies support soymeal values for feed buyers.
