Corn and soybean futures fell sharply after the USDA March WASDE report on March 9, with December corn closing at $3.87 and November soybeans at $10.00, both the lowest since late January. Large South American crops are expected to create tough export competition in coming months.
Big South American supplies and weaker U.S. export prospects pressure soybean and corn prices, which lowers feed ingredient costs in the near term.
