Grain, Livestock Futures Mixed on Sept. 24, 2026

December corn futures settled at $5.27-1/2, down 1-1/2 cents, while November soybeans fell 1/2 cent to $13.17-1/2. Soybean meal rose $5.80 to $376.10 per ton, and soybean oil dropped 32 points to 66.93 cents. Live cattle, feeder cattle and lean hogs futures all closed lower.

Why it matters: Rising soybean meal costs ($376.10/ton) alongside a slight dip in corn offer modest feed-cost relief for producers watching input prices.
