Why Are Corn Prices So Low This Year
Professor Shepherd of Iowa State College’s agricultural economics division cites three main causes for the low corn prices: weak business conditions, record large U S crops, and a rising visible supply in terminal elevators. November shows a 27 million bushel visible supply, a record for that month, with August to October receipts in Chicago higher than any previous period. Farmers holding corn over have driven prices down for three years, though no forecast on future holding is yet available.
