Soybeans were down 1 to 2 cents across the front months on Thursday. The cmdtyView national average Cash Bean price was down 1 cent at $10.84 3/4.  Soymeal futures are $1.20 to $2.20 in the front months, with Soy Oil futures up another 91 to 109 points in the nearbys. The average close for November soybean futures has been $11.08 so far in February, up 54 cents from the total last year, with Friday being the last day for price discovery for the spring soybean crop insurance price.
