USDA projections show U.S. corn use is expected to grow through 2026

Newly released USDA agricultural projections through 2016 suggest that demand for U.S. corn will grow steadily over the next decade.

Lower corn prices and increasing corn production suggest that more corn will be used for feed and residual use, helping to fuel rising meat production. Full story Corn_Use_through_2017.
