Ethanol without Subsidies

Yesterday's Omaha World Herald article on ethanol mentions the industry's strategy of focusing on public policy objectives, but leaves out my favorite resource, water, in its look at industry issues.

Another corn merchandising reminder:

You don't want to get caught long (old crop) basis corn as we transition to new crop values, if you don't need the inventory in the short-term.

We believe positions are unique to each person's risk bearing ability, marketing strategy and crop conditions, therefore we give no blanket recommendations. The risk of loss in trading commodities can be substantial, therefore carefully consider whether such trading is suitable for you in light of your financial condition.
