Note: Totals may not add due to rounding.  1/ Marketing year beginning 
September 1 for corn and sorghum; June 1 for barley and oats.  2/ For a 
breakout of FSI corn uses  see Feed Outlook table 5 or access the data on the 
Web through the Feed Grains Database at 
www.ers.usda.gov/data-products/feed-grains-database.aspx.  3/ Corn processed 
in ethanol plants to produce ethanol and by-products including distillers' 
grains  corn gluten feed  corn gluten meal  and corn oil.  4/ Marketing-year 
weighted average price received by farmers.  * For July  planted and 
harvested acres reported in the June 30  2020  "Acreage."  The corn yield 
projection is based on a weather-adjusted trend assuming normal mid-May 
planting progress and summer growing season weather  estimated using the 
1988-2019 time period  and includes a downward stochastic adjustment to 
account for the asymmetric response of yield to July precipitation.
