As we approach the new crop corn harvest, stored corn supply from last year gets tighter. And farmers may be holding on to it until they see the right price. This is the environment that ethanol producers are navigating through as they work to keep their plants stocked with corn. Howard Boppart is the grain merchandiser with Marquis Energy. His job is to make sure the ethanol plant has corn. He's sure that this year's corn harvest won't come close to last year, adding to the price volatility in the corn market. The good news is that demand is strong for not just ethanol, but the byproducts that come along with it, such as corn oil and dried distillers grains.
