Corn for ethanol use fell during September. USDA says 383.088 million bushels of corn were used for fuel alcohol production in September, a drop of 11% from August and 6% from September 2021.
That was due to some plants going idle or cutting back production for seasonal maintenance or because of blending demand uncertainties linked to high gasoline prices, in addition to tight local supplies of corn ahead of widespread harvest.
Production of distillers dried grains with solubles was 1,613,088 tons, a decline of 14% on the month and 8% on the year.
