Sharp Decline in Grains. Friday, November 14, 2025

At the market close, December corn was down 11¼¢ at $4.30¼ per bushel.

January soybeans were down 22½¢ at $11.24½ per bushel.

“[Friday’s] much-anticipated update from the USDA was relatively bearish across the board,” said Karl Setzer, partner with Consus Ag Consulting. “Corn yields came in higher than the pre-report trade estimates by 2 bushels to the acre, while soybean yields were in line with published estimates. Unfortunately, both of which felt much higher than what the trade was actually anticipating.”

December CBOT wheat was down 10¾¢ at $5.41½¢ per bushel. December KC wheat was 12¢ weaker at $5.31 per bushel. December Minneapolis wheat decreased 1½¢ at $5.59¾ per bushel.

December live cattle were up 57¢ at $219.52 per hundredweight (cwt). January feeder cattle jumped $2.10 at $320.55 per cwt. December lean hogs were up 52¢ at $79.37 per cwt.

At 3:22 p.m. CT, December crude oil was up $1.25 at $59.94 per barrel.

The S&P 500 Index was down 3.38 points, and the Dow Jones Industrial Average dropped 309.74 points.

The December U.S. Dollar Index was up 100 points.

Just before 9:30 a.m. CT, December corn was up ¼¢ at $4.41¾ per bushel.

January soybeans were down ½¢ at $11.26½ per bushel.

“Active consolidation is taking place in the market [Friday] morning ahead of the long-awaited USDA World Agriculture Supply and Demand Estimates update,” said Karl Setzer, partner with Consus Ag Consulting. “For the most part trade is expecting lower U.S. yields and production numbers, but steady to slightly higher carryout as demand is questionable. The two most debated demand sources are exports on soybeans and feed demand for corn. We will also see a catch up in flash sales data [Friday] morning. Bottom line, the market is going to receive plenty of fresh news to sift through.”

December CBOT wheat was up 5½¢ at $5.57¾ per bushel. December KC wheat was 6¢ higher at $5.49 per bushel. December Minneapolis wheat increased 4¼¢ at $5.65½ per bushel.
