How much of the nation's corn crop is used for ethanol production? In 2004, 1.26 billion bushels of corn went to ethanol production – about 12% of the nation's total crop. That figure rose to 14% for the '05 corn crop – about 1.6 billion bushels of an 11.1 billion bushel crop. As the nation's ethanol production climbs, some bushels from the export category will likely shift over into ethanol production.

Investors sour on CSR
A LACK of guidance after a profit downgrade yesterday saw the market abandon building products and sugar group CSR, wiping 9.2 per cent off its share price. Investors chose to err on the side of caution after CSR said a 25 per cent fall in global sugar prices since July meant it was likely to fall short of its earnings forecast. It has previously flagged a 10 per cent increase in earnings before interest and tax (EBIT) for the year to March 2007. A CSR spokesman said unseasonable wet weather in North Queensland, especially in the Herbert region, had also delayed the start of crushing and had also depressed sugar content. "Given these circumstances it now looks unlikely that CSR will achieve the improved profit outcome previously expected," the spokesman said said.
