## Why it matters

Cattle feed in September cost roughly 15–20% more than a year earlier, with maize and soybean-based inputs rising, partly on ethanol-linked maize demand. Higher feed costs are feeding through to dairy procurement and retail prices, which supports demand for maize and soy feed ingredients.
