The ethanol producer will now have the ability to create a complete risk management profile through hedging both inputs (corn, natural gas) and outputs (ethanol and DDGs); otherwise known as the "corn crush".

Livestock feeders and producers, dairy operators and feed manufacturers who use DDGs in their feed now have a price risk management tool to hedge their feed inputs.

Other benefits include:

  • Provides market participants with a transparent "benchmark price"
  • Provides price risk management opportunities
  • Relatively seamless, instantaneous straight-through execution, processing and clearing
