This article examines how U.S. corn supply-demand balances are likely to be effected by expanding the proportion of ethanol allowed to be mixed in U.S. fuels from 10% (i.e., E-10), to 12% (E-11) and 15% (E-15) over the next decade. June 2010 USDA World Agricultural Supply-Demand Estimates (WASDE) and 2010 USDA Agricultural Projections of grain and livestock supply, use and agricultural commodity prices for the 2010 through 2019 period are used as a basis for this analysis. United States corn and livestock supply-use projections were taken “as is” from this source with only minor adjustments. Information on 2010 USDA Agricultural Baseline Projections are available online
