The U.S. Energy Information Administration on Wednesday reported that ethanol production fell to its lowest level in two years. Despite production rates being at record lows, stockpiles of ethanol have risen to 19.6 million barrels (823 million gallons). "Ethanol has seen a huge drop in production, but yet stocks are steady," said Mike Blackford, an INTL FCStone consultant.
According to data collected from Bloomberg based on the September contracts for corn and ethanol, companies are losing 35 cents on each gallon of ethanol produced.
