Why Soybeans Dropped This Week — And What the Market Is Really Pricing In

Soybean futures saw a sharp weekly drop, leaving many producers asking what actually changed. In this episode of Boots and Bushels, we break down why soybeans fell nearly 30 cents in a single week — without a major headline, USDA report, or demand collapse.

We explain how futures markets price expectations months ahead of harvest, why South American crop prospects are weighing on beans early, how fund selling and year-end positioning accelerated the move, and why “normal” export demand isn’t enough to support prices when big supplies are expected. We also look at what it would take to stop the slide and what producers should be watching next.
