Corn for ethanol numbers were mixed in April.
The USDA says 416.92 million bushels of corn were used for ethanol production during April 2024, a drop of 12% from March partially due to seasonal maintenance, but up 1% from April 2023.
Production of distillers dried grains with solubles was 1,756,396 tons, a decrease of 9% on the month, but an increase of 8% on the year.
Even with the month-to-month decline, corn for ethanol use remains on pace to meet or exceed USDA projections for the current marketing year.
