John Deere launched a six-month "Field-to-Freight" pilot at its Milan, Illinois parts distribution center, putting five Class 8 trucks converted to run on 100% biodiesel (B100) onto regular Midwest parts routes. The B100 is supplied by Chevron's Seneca, Illinois facility and refined from soybean oil and distillers corn oil, with a bulk fuel tank installed at the site.
A small private fleet pilot adds modest incremental demand for soybean oil and distillers corn oil used in biofuel, a minor support for those oils rather than a major supply or price shift.
After 842 past bullish policy events, Soybean Oil moved a median +0.2% over 5 sessions (52% higher; middle half -1.6% to +2.1%), and -0.5% over 20.
