What is the CBOT corn futures contract?

Chicago corn

A long means…

Exposure to a rise in deliverable No. 2 Yellow corn at Chicago — the Corn Belt energy grain.

What is this?

No. 2 Yellow corn is the Corn Belt’s energy grain: livestock feed, fuel ethanol, and the export cargo. The United States is the world’s largest producer, consumer and exporter; ethanol now takes nearly 45% of use, with most of the rest going to feed and exports. The CBOT future delivers: the short tenders No. 2 Yellow at par, from regular elevators in Chicago, Burns Harbor and along the Illinois Waterway — the hub that anchors the US cash price.

Elevators and merchandisers hedge grain bought from farmers; feed mills, livestock feeders and ethanol plants hedge the purchase cost.

Pitfalls

  • 5,000 bu, cents/bu.
  • Do not merge mini corn.
  • Ethanol link: see `ethanol`.
