Corn Prices Rise Despite Record Harvest Forecast

By Myah Garza

Corn prices are moving higher even as the USDA projects a record harvest of nearly 17 billion bushels this fall.

Geoff Cooper, president and CEO of the Renewable Fuels Association (RFA), said ethanol demand is a key driver. “Ethanol is helping to keep a floor under corn prices right now,” Cooper said. “We’re on pace to make a record amount of ethanol this year, which means we’re going to use a record amount of corn—about 5.6 or 5.7 billion bushels.”

Video: How Does an Anhydrous Ammonia Applicator Work?

Border View Farms is a mid-sized family farm that sits on the Ohio-Michigan border. My name is Nathan. I make and edit all of the videos posted here. I farm with my dad, Mark and uncle, Phil. We also have a part-time employee, Brock. My dad started the farm in 1980. Since then we have grown the operation from just a couple hundred acres to over 3,000. Watch my 500th video for a history of our farm I filmed with my dad.

I started making these videos in the fall of 2019 as a way to help show what I do on a daily basis as a farmer. Agriculture is different from any other industry and I believe the more people that are showing their small piece of agriculture, helps to build our story. We face unique challenges and stressful situations but have some of the most rewarding payoffs in the end. I get to spend everyday doing what I love, raising my kids on the farm, and trying to push our farm to be better every year. I hope that I can address questions or concerns that you might have about farms and agriculture.
