By John Perkins

Ongoing demand uncertainties and declining margins are contributing to a decline in ethanol demand.

Ongoing demand uncertainties and declining margins are contributing to a decline in ethanol demand.

The U.S. Energy Information Administration says production averaged 1.061 million barrels a day, down 16,000 on the week and 26,000 on the year.

Iowa State University’s Center for Agricultural and Rural Development reports margins for the average producer in Iowa fell to the lowest levels this year.

Another sign of slowing demand, stocks jumped 1.152 million barrels to 24.409 million, the largest supply since mid-April and 3.526 million above a year ago.

The Renewable Fuels Association says net inputs by ethanol refiners and blenders were up 3.7% from the previous week, but the volume of gasoline supplied to the market fell 1.2%.

Video: Demco Dual Aguer Grain Carts — Fire Safety Systems, Right or Left-Handed Unload, and More!


Demco's dual auger grain cart is designed for unloading efficiency, operator visibility, and safety in the field.

This dual-auger design features both an unload auger and a floor auger for enhanced grain cleanout and consistent flow, and the 22-inch unload auger is capable of moving up to 600 bushels per minute.

Farmers can also choose between right or left-handed unload options—right-handed unload improves visibility from the tractor cab. A new design allows both vertical and horizontal movement for precise grain placement during unloading.

Another key feature is the built-in fire safety system; a 300-gallon onboard water tank with a hose reel that provides field-ready fire suppression capability.

These dual auger grain carts are available in 1100, 1300, 1500, 1700, and 2200 bushel sizes.
