A nationwide, year-round E15 provision in the farm bill is in limbo amid disagreement over extending SNAP cost-sharing. Senator Chuck Grassley has urged a two-year extension, while Senator John Boozman described a one-year delay as the Republican and White House offer; passage requires 60 Senate votes.
If enacted, year-round E15 sales could expand ethanol use and support corn demand. The unresolved SNAP negotiations make that demand upside uncertain.
After 318 past bullish policy events, Corn moved a median -0.1% over 5 sessions (48% higher; middle half -1.4% to +1.5%), and -0.2% over 20.
