Thoughts for 2013 and Beyond • Supply/demand concerns • Can the new crop beat the summer heat? It had been so far, so good • Then can it beat the freeze? • New crop ratings are decent, Eastern vs. Western Corn Belt • Corn demand rebounding? • Acreage allocation for 2014: Where do the extra corn acres go?
