USDA released version 1.2 of its Feedstock Carbon Intensity Calculator on September 11, which scores each field separately instead of using a whole-farm average. The calculator covers field corn, soybeans, sorghum and spring canola, with field-level yield and nitrogen records as key inputs.
Lower carbon scores could raise demand for qualifying feedstocks, but farmer premiums still depend on biofuel buyers paying for the lower intensity.
After 439 past neutral policy events, CORN moved a median +0.1% over 5 sessions (51% higher; middle half -1.3% to +1.2%), and +1.1% over 20.
After 554 past neutral policy events, SOY moved a median +0.0% over 5 sessions (51% higher; middle half -1.4% to +1.6%), and +0.6% over 20.
