Beans have posted 10-year lows, and not for the first time, in the past month. We thought $7.50 was bad,then $7.20 came into view. For those with a good amount forward sold, and the 82 cents (or $1.65 if USDA pays the 2nd “trade aid” payment in December), coupled with high yields could actually have a good year with beans.
Corn price continues to be pulled down by beans. USDA does project lower ending stocks next year even though this year’s crop is another large one. Year-round E-15 is needed to help absorb increasing production as well as increasing our use of a homegrown renewable energy source. What is America really good at? Growing corn!
