Ethanol production rises for second week

In Washington, Brownfield Ag News reports ethanol production rose for the second week in a row to 1.041 million barrels a day as producers finish up maintenance season and return to regular runs. Although production rose by an average of 30,000 barrels per day last week, the figure is still 38,000 barrels below last year. A potential rail strike could cause major supply issues going into the holiday season while stocks have reached a 10-week high.
