Midwest ethanol crush margins rose 2.59 cents per gallon to about 28.39 cents per gallon on Monday, driven by falling corn prices ahead of a large harvest. Ethanol output remains above one million barrels per day.
National ethanol stocks reached 21.347 million barrels, and stocks rose in four of five regions.
