On the Corn Front old crop prices rallied 3 to 6 cents as the USDA announced the sale of 667k tons (26 mil. Bu.) of old crop corn to China making a 50 mil. Bu. total in two days. Peter Charalambous and Robinson Perez with ABC News report that a derailed train in Arizona last night was feared to be carrying hazardous materials was actually corn syrup. The area of the train derailment was previously under a tornado warning. Eight freight rail tankers derailed near Topock, Arizona, last night according to BNSF Railway. Despite initial reports from the Mojave County Sheriff’s office that the train was carrying hazardous materials, BNSF confirmed the train was actually carrying corn syrup.
