The 9 cent corn price ceiling rise announced by the CPA drew mixed responses across Iowa. Livestock producers faced higher costs while some grain sellers hoped the higher ceiling would spur movement, though others doubted it would be enough to release surplus corn. OPA noted Iowa farmers should now receive at least a dollar per bushel and outlined new No 2 yellow corn ceilings at major markets.
