Truck drivers roving the Midwest are paying above ceilings for corn and selling to farmers, creating an illegal market that reduces grain moving through marketing terminals. Trade sources warn of a potential shutdown of corn refineries within 30 days, affecting textiles, paper, aluminum, steel, brewing, candy and more. The Baldwin Elevator reports a “corn blitz” as trucks contact growers directly, jeopardizing normal movement of corn despite producer efforts to catch up.
