Disappointing Soybean Crush Figures Weigh on U.S. Commodity Prices
What happened
The September soybean crush report showed 196.3 million bushels were crushed. This figure was nearly eight million bushels below the average trade estimate and approximately 1.5 million bushels below September 2025. This marks the first time in several years that monthly soybean crush fell below the same month a year earlier.
