Chicago corn and soybean futures hovered just below multi-month highs on Wednesday, as U.S. farmers stepped up their selling and took the momentum out of a price rally. Wheat prices fell slightly without strong upward pressure from rising corn prices.

By Karl Plume CHICAGO (Reuters) - Monthly U.S. soybean crushing in December reached its highest level on record as several new mills came online in recent months, according to data from the National Oilseed Processors Association (NOPA) released on Wednesday. The association’s members, which account for at least 95% of the soybeans processed in the United States, crushed 206.604 million bushels of the oilseed last month, up 6.9% from November’s 193.185 million bushels and up 5.8% from December 2023’s crush of 195.328 million bushels.

December’s crush also surpassed the previous monthly record of 199.943 million bushels in October.

Chicago corn and soybean futures rose on Wednesday but were stuck a little below multi-month highs as U.S. farmers stepped up their selling, sucking the momentum out of a price rally. Wheat prices fell slightly amid weak demand and ample availability in export markets. The most active corn contract on the Chicago Board of Trade (CBOT) was up 0.3% at $4.76 a bushel at 0520 GMT after reaching its highest since December 2023 at $4.80 on Tuesday. CBOT soybeans rose 0.2% to $10.49-1/2 a bushel after touching $10.64, a peak since October last year, on Tuesday. Wheat dipped 0.4% to $5.44-1/4 a bushel. Corn and soybean prices surged after the U.S. Department of Agriculture, on Friday, cut its estimates for U.S. 2024 production and end-of-season stocks by more than analysts had expected. Soybeans were also supported by expectations that a change in U.S. biofuel policy could limit imports of used cooking oil and increase demand for U.S. soyoil as feedstock, said Commonwealth Bank analyst D
