Feed prices dropped sharply, with September corn closing below $6/bu, August soybeans down 70.5 cents to $14.39, and August soybean meal falling to $410/ton. Analysts described these as the best feed prices since last fall, and the decline followed a 4.1% drop in the global dairy trade auction index.
Lower corn, soybean and soybean meal prices reduce feed costs for dairies, while a strong dollar and inflation fears weigh on export demand and milk prices. Buyers may use the dip to cover future feed needs.
