How do you think ADM influences the corn market?

In this case, sitting on huge stockpiles while waiting on prices to rise. This would be acceptable behaviour if they weren’t also pushing the government to give away taxpayer money to drive up consumption.

[Mr. Lucky]

ADM's position is hedged. An increase in the price of corn after its purchased and hedged doesn't increase ADM's profit.

Actually, an increase in the value of corn decreases ADM's net profit by the amount that it costs ADM to meet its margin call.
