Cedar Rapids Mill

Market Commentary 10/21/2026 

December corn settled 1¼¢ higher at $4.6325, March corn gained 1¼¢ to $4.7725, and November soybeans fell 3¢ to $12.4525. Corrective buying helped corn recover after an early break below its August lows. Today’s ethanol report offered mixed demand signals: production increased 2.7% from last week, supporting corn grind, but inventories rose 2.6% and blending demand weakened. Soybeans remained under harvest pressure, with favorable South American growing conditions also limiting buying interest. USDA announced fresh soybean sales totaling approximately 11 million bushels—4.9 million to China and 6.1 million to Spain—but those purchases did not turn beans positive. December soybean oil fell 0.76¢ per pound, adding pressure to the soybean complex; crude’s roughly 58¢ decline appeared a secondary influence rather than the main grain-market driver. Have a great day!

We can only take hopper bottom trailers for corn. Make sure hoppers are fully closed before driving off the dump.
