Soybeans plummeted Friday after USDA projected a record 89.5 million acres of U.S. soybeans for 2017, with relatively high bean stockpiles adding pressure. Soybeans fell below $9.50 a bushel for the first time since last fall, while corn and wheat held steady as their acreage was reduced.
A record soybean acreage projection and heavy stocks signal ample soy supply, pressuring soybean and meal prices for feed buyers.
