Soybeans dropped to the lowest in more than four years in Chicago as farmers in the U.S. gather a record crop. Corn and wheat headed for weekly losses.

The U.S. soybean harvest was 3 percent complete in main growing areas as of Sept. 21, the U.S. Department of Agriculture said this week. The agency expects production to climb 19 percent this season to 3.913 billion bushels, the most ever. U.S. corn output may also reach a record at 14.395 billion bushels, the USDA estimates.
