Soybeans crushed for crude oil was 6.66 million tons (222 million bushels) in July 2026, compared with 6.53 million tons (218 million bushels) in June 2026 and 6.16 million tons (205 million bushels) in July 2025. Crude oil produced was 2.57 billion pounds, up 2 percent from June 2026 and up 6 percent from July 2025. Soybean once refined oil production at 2.03 billion pounds during July 2026 increased less than 1 percent from June 2026 and increased 10 percent from July 2025. Canola seeds crushed for crude oil was 225,468 tons in July 2026, compared with 204,577 tons in June 2026 and 209,848 tons in July 2025. Canola crude oil produced was 184 million pounds, up 12 percent from June 2026 and up 12 percent from July 2025. Canola once refined oil production, at 189 million pounds during July 2026, was up 22 percent from June 2026 and up 8 percent from July 2025. Cottonseed once refined oil production, at 19.0 million pounds during July 2026, was down 9 percent from June 2026 and down 34 percent from July 2025. Edible tallow production was 59.5 million pounds during July 2026, down 25 percent from June 2026 and down 28 percent from July 2025. Inedible tallow production was 263 million pounds during July 2026, down 10 percent from June 2026 and down 4 percent from July 2025. Technical tallow production was 80.2 million pounds during July 2026, down 15 percent from June 2026 and down 21 percent from July 2025. Choice white grease production, at 94 million pounds during July 2026, decreased 7 percent from June 2026 but increased 7 percent from July 2025.

Statistical Methodology Survey Procedures: Fats and Oils: Oilseed Crushings, Production, Consumption and Stocks is part of the Current Agricultural Industrial Reports (CAIR) program. CAIR reports are administered under NASS's Census of Agriculture program. Response to CAIR surveys are required by law (Title 7, U.S. Code). Animal and vegetable fats and oils data are collected from all known facilities that crush, refine or render. Crushing facilities include processors that use either solvent extraction or continuous screw press. The census universe was determined during operation profile interviews which were completed for each potential facility to identify the presence of rendering, oilseeds crushing, and crude oil refining in 2014. In the Animal and Vegetable Fats and Oils survey questionnaire, facilities are asked for previous calendar month data on oilseed crushing, crude oil production, once refined oil production, rendering production, and end of month stocks. Facilities are mailed questionnaires with the options of completing the survey by mail or by Electronic Data Reporting (EDR). For surveys not received in a reasonable amount of time, telephone follow-up is conducted. Estimating Procedures: Imputation is done for operations with non-response by using historical data and current data relationships. Data for reporting firms are added to estimates for non-reporting firms to obtain National totals. Revision Policy: Data are revised the following month based on late reports or corrected data. Final figures are published in the annual summary of the following year. Reliability: Survey data are based on a census of all known facilities and therefore, have no sampling variability. Monthly data can vary due to different firms reporting month to month. Survey data are also subject to non-sampling errors such as omissions and mistakes in reporting and in processing the data. While these errors cannot be measured directly, they are minimized by carefully reviewing all reported data for consistency and reasonableness.
