The estimated crush margin more than offset the prior week’s nine percent decline, climbing nearly 11 percent this week as revenue streams approached multi-year highs. The value received from oil and meal sales per bushel of soybeans crushed held increased from $11.22 per bushel to $11.84, while the price of soybeans moved 47 cents higher to $10.31 per bushel. The margin expanded 11 percent to $1.53 per bushel, a three-week high.
