In Q3 2025, grain and oilseed futures showed low levels compared to 2022 highs, but with a long-term pattern of higher lows due to population growth and biofuel demand. Despite Q3 losses, rising production costs, and limited output incentives, prices could rise in the future due to increasing global demand.
Soybean futures saw declines in Q3, settling at $10.0175 per bushel by September 30, 2025. Soybean products also dropped, with soybean meal futures falling 2.06% and soybean oil declining 6.93% over the same period. U.S. and Chinese trade policies may influence future soybean prices.
Corn futures declined 1.19% in Q3, settling at $4.1550 per bushel by September 30, 2025. Similarly, soft red winter wheat futures fell 3.92%, settling at $5.0800 per bushel. Nearby KCBT hard red winter wheat futures also declined in Q3.
MGE spring wheat futures declined 6.67% in Q3, settling at $5.6275 per bushel. Nearby CBOT oat futures fell 20.49%, settling at $3.0750 per bushel. Rough rice futures also dropped 13.82% in Q3, settling at $11.165 per cwt.
Grain and oilseed prices remain bearish in Q4 2025, meeting global food and biofuel needs. A lack of USDA data due to a government shutdown has caused uncertainty. Despite current low prices, commodity cyclicality suggests future price increases due to reduced production and increased demand.
