overview While the size of the 2004 corn harvest will not be known for some time, current indications are that both yield and production will set records. As a result of increased corn production, total feed grains output will also set a record. With no change in projected 2004/05 corn use, projected ending stocks are up 7 percent from last month, and the price range, at $2.00-$2.40 per bushel, is down 5 cents on each end from August’s projection.
