ADM sees lower 2015 ethanol margins but that they’ll get better from here

In Minnesota, ethanol profit margins are expected to fall for ADM this year, following lower oil prices that have pinched crush margins for corn-based ethanol, though the company expects the situation to improve during the year as demand picks up and some producers mothball temporarily.  The company expects ethanol exports to remain steady in 2015 at around 800 million gallons.
