THE CRUSH: SOYBEAN MEAL SOYBEAN OIL
60 LBS OF BEANS IN A BUSHEL ABOUT 44 LBS OF MEAL ABOUT 11 LBS OF OIL About 5 lbs of waste
IF THE PRICE OF MEAL IS $440/TON AND THE PRICE OF OIL IS $ .37/LB THEN THE VALUE OF THE PRODUCT IS $440/2000 * 44 = 9.68+ $ .37 * 11 = 4.07 = 13.75 If the price of soybeans is $12.21/bu The crushing margin is $ 1.54/bu
