Price Chart
At a Glance
Corn is the most produced grain in the US and a critical feedstock for animal feed, ethanol production, and food ingredients. About 35% of the US corn crop goes to ethanol, linking corn prices to energy policy and gasoline demand. Prices are heavily influenced by Midwest weather during the pollination window (July), USDA acreage and yield estimates, and export competition from Brazil and Argentina.
