not always...old crop is in tight supply, i have heard offerings of 45 cents over spot price for ethanol production...poor yields would help out the new crop more but would make a tight supply of old crop more valuable, but only what some are willing to pay...if this keeps up, feeding cattle corn in feedlots might be a thing of the past, imho....not an expert either, so validate what i say and certainly don't do what i do...forks work until they don't and knowledge can sometimes confuse your thinking...
