Each plant-quarter regression relates Heartland basis to detrended regional corn production. Statistics apply that regression to historical 2006–2025 production deviations, excluding 2012. Values are $/bu; percentiles describe model-implied basis, not a confidence interval.
Pale-blue counties are included in the three 25-mile draw areas. Red markers identify the ethanol plants analyzed in the balance sheets.
Raw MarketView posted corn basis for IBEC. Missing dates are not estimated. The Heartland manual series repeats each monthly value daily.
