What this price means for Kansas Soybeans farmers
Kansas soybeans averaged $12.10 per bushel in August 2026, matching the national average exactly and reflecting a market environment where local basis factors — transportation costs, elevator competition, and regional crush demand — have largely offset one another. That alignment with the US average is not always the case, and when gaps do appear, they typically trace back to logistics and local market structure rather than any difference in crop quality. Looking further back, the current marketing-year-average for Kansas sits at $10.10 per bushel, still preliminary but already running $0.45 above last year's finalized MYA of $9.65. That year-over-year improvement signals a meaningfully stronger price environment for the 2025–26 crop relative to the prior season.
For marketing and revenue planning, it is important not to treat August's $12.10 spot print as a baseline for what the full year will deliver. Monthly prices can spike or dip sharply within a single marketing year, as Kansas growers saw across the spring and summer months when prices ranged from $11.00 in March up to the current $12.10 — a dollar-ten swing in just six months. Locking in a forward contract off a single strong monthly price can make sense for a defined portion of anticipated production, but budgeting annual gross revenue around that figure rather than the MYA risks overstating what the full bushel pool will actually return. The marketing-year-average of $10.10, preliminary as it may be, gives a far more reliable foundation for break-even analysis, input cost coverage, and cash flow projections across the entire crop year.

Frequently asked questions — Kansas Soybeans price
Why does the Kansas soybean price of $12.1/bushel match the US average exactly in August 2026?
The Kansas soybean price for August 2026 sits at $12.1/bushel, reflecting a basis of $0/bushel relative to the national average of $12.1/bushel, meaning local supply, demand, and transportation costs are currently in equilibrium with the broader US market. Basis can shift quickly due to regional export demand, crush facility capacity, or harvest timing, so Kansas producers should continue monitoring local elevator bids alongside USDA state-level data to capture any emerging premiums or discounts.
What is the difference between the Kansas soybean August 2026 price of $12.1/bushel and the marketing-year-average price of $10.1/bushel?
The August 2026 monthly price of $12.1/bushel represents a single-month snapshot of what Kansas soybean producers received on average during that period, while the marketing-year-average (MYA) price of $10.1/bushel reflects the weighted average price across the entire September-to-August marketing year. The $2.00/bushel gap indicates that August prices are significantly stronger than the season-long average, which is relevant when evaluating whether holding grain into late-season storage has historically added value.
How frequently does USDA update the Kansas soybean price data used on this page?
USDA's National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS) releases state-level crop prices monthly through the Agricultural Prices report, typically published on the last business day of each month. The marketing-year-average price is finalized after the close of the full marketing year in August, so Kansas producers and agronomists should check monthly updates to track how the season-long average evolves relative to current monthly prices.
How can Kansas soybean producers use the $12.1/bushel August 2026 price alongside yield data to estimate gross revenue?
To estimate gross revenue per acre, multiply the Kansas soybean price of $12.1/bushel by your expected or realized yield — for example, a 50 bushel-per-acre yield would generate approximately $605/acre in gross revenue at August 2026 prices. Comparing this figure against the MYA price of $10.1/bushel, which would yield $505/acre at the same production level, illustrates the significant revenue impact of price timing and underscores the value of forward contracting or basis contracts when prices are elevated above the seasonal average.
