February corn for ethanol, soybean crush numbers above a year ago
February soybean crush and corn for ethanol numbers were mixed while still reflecting solid demand.
The USDA says the corn grind and soybean crush both declined from January due to fewer business days and weather issues but were up from February 2025 on those demand expectations for feed, food, and fuel usage.
425 million bushels of corn were used for ethanol production, 8% less than in January, but 1% more than February 2025, while the soybean crush of 214 million bushels was 14 million below the prior month, but up 24 million from last year.
Distillers dried grains with solubles production were down on both the month and the year, while soybean oil stocks were up sharply and soybean meal stocks were tighter than a year ago.
The USDA’s updated corn for ethanol use and soybean crush numbers are out Thursday, April 9th.
