Corn (CORN)
A staple crop for food, feed and fuel.
What is Corn
Corn is one of the most widely grown crops on earth, used for food, animal feed and ethanol fuel. It is a backbone of global agriculture.
Its price tracks planting and harvest weather, the size of the crop in major producers, and demand from livestock and biofuel. Hot, dry spells during the growing season can move it sharply.
Corn is heavily traded and closely linked to the broader grain complex and to food prices.
