| If they had a price set on the old crop corn they can sell it for the current price at a profit now and use that profit to help buy the new crop. They will not bail on cheaper corn they will just roll it to a cheaper month at the current spread.
An example would be if they bought July corn at $4.50 they can now sell that corn for $6.50 and buy NC corn for $5.50. They will have made $2.00 profit on the old crop and still get the corn so the net price would be $3.50 for them. They did this big time in 1995 1996 spread. If they are rolling now they must think the spread is about as wide as it will get.
