Central Illinois corn cash prices climbed to the mid-$3.80 range, with some locations offering above $4 for fall delivery, while December futures struggled to break $4. USDA's consumption forecast is 14.015 billion bushels, down 459 million from the prior year, and ethanol corn use is projected to rise only 24 million bushels.
