Brazil increases ethanol blends from e30 to e32. Technical tests indicate no relevant impacts on vehicle performance including non-flex fuel engines.

Now USA, do #e15! crack spreads are begging for help.

[Tyne Morgan @Tyne_Ag]

A new study by @NationalCorn found:

-U.S. corn seed prices averaged 68% higher than Brazil’s
-Insecticide prices averaged 87% higher
-Some fungicides cost more than double what Brazilian farmers paid
-Many herbicide comparisons also approached double Brazilian price levels

For NCGA President Jed Bower, an Ohio farmer, the findings confirm concerns many growers have held for years: “It sure doesn’t look like we’re the low-cost producer anymore,” Bower says. “The study shows the American farmer is really paying for all the innovation and research for the rest of the world to take advantage of.”

🚨Just in: A North Dakota judge said he will order Greenpeace to pay damages expected to total $345 million in connection with protests against the Dakota Access oil pipeline nearly a decade ago.

The environmental group argues it cannot pay the amount.

U.S. agribusiness Cargill will permanently close its #beef #processing facility in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and eliminate 221 jobs, according to a filing with the state, the latest U.S. beef plant to be shuttered amid rising costs for meatpackers.

Commercial rate of electricity in the USA right now is 13 cents .

At 13 cents per unit, right now the cost to mine one bitcoin is $130K. Just the electric bill.

This does not include equipment & other costs .

Each bitcoin mined rn is a 50k loss for miners .

It’s over.

‘The CME COMEX has ‘circuit breakers’ in the silver market that halt trading for a period if extreme price movements occur to allow for a more orderly market. What the CME COMEX calls dynamic circuit breakers automatically kick-in when the price of silver drops or rises by 10% on a rolling 1 hour basis. We can see in Figure 1. below that from ~ 12:30 to ~ 13:30 Eastern Time, the price of silver - both cash/spot and futures - ranged between $91 /oz. and $75 /oz., representing an 18% range, and yet the CME COMEX automatic circuit breakers were not activated nor announced by the CME. Yesterday, I wrote a letter to the CME asking why this exception to CME COMEX rules occurred and will report their response when received’ #DavidJensen

Omaha-based Hansen-Mueller Co. has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection. The action follows reports from farmers in several states over the past few weeks that they have not been paid for grain deliveries to the company.

According to the company's filing in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Nebraska on Monday, the company reports an estimated 1,000 to 5,000 creditors and lists between $100 million and $500 million in both liabilities and assets.

Illinois Governor JB Pritzker says he wants to prosecute law enforcement for... ENFORCING THE LAW.

Democrats want to go after those arresting violent criminals instead of the violent criminals themselves.

Unbelievable.
