US Cash Grains-Some processors lift corn, soybean basis bids

ReutersDec 15, 2025 10:50 PM

- Corn and soybean basis bids rose at some processing facilities in the U.S. Midwest on Monday as farmer selling slowed, dealers said.

  • A Chicago-area corn processor raised its spot basis bid by 4 cents a bushel, while a processor in Decatur, Illinois, lifted its bid by 5 cents.

  • For soybeans, a crush plant in Lafayette, Indiana, increased its basis bid by 10 cents for delivery by the end of the year.

  • The U.S. soybean crush slowed by more than expected in November after hitting an all-time high the previous month, according to a monthly National Oilseed Processors Association (NOPA) report released on Monday.

  • Chicago Board of Trade soybean futures touched a seven-week low amid a broad selloff in agriculture markets and corn futures also declined.
