5 About the Economic Values The Missouri Soybean Economic Report measures the economic value generated by seven sectors in the Missouri soybean products value chain: input suppliers, soybean producers, storage facilities, truck transportation providers, processors, biodiesel refineries and exporters. Throughout the report, as many as three economic impact values will be presented for each sector. Each value has a different meaning: Output economic impact: Output multipliers measure the total dollar change in output that occurs in all U.S. industries for each additional dollar of output delivered to final demand by the industry corresponding to the entry. Earnings economic impact: Earnings multipliers measure the total dollar change in earnings of U.S. households employed by all industries for each additional dollar of output delivered to final demand by the industry corresponding to the entry. Value added economic impact: Value added multipliers measure the total dollar change in value added that occurs in all U.S. industries for each additional dollar of output delivered to final demand by the industry corresponding to the entry. For some industries, only value added economic impact is reported because these industries play a supporting role in adding value to soybeans and soybean products. Page 1 of 20

6 Executive Summary Soybean production, processing and the industries that support these activities are significant economic contributors in Missouri. Between 2010 and 2012, Missouri farmers on average planted 5.28 million soybean acres annually and harvested 5.18 million soybean acres annually. During these three years, annual production averaged million bushels per year, and yield averaged 36 bushels per acre. Inputs Sector Missouri soybean farmers incur significant costs to produce crops. Seed and fertilizer are the major operating costs, and opportunity cost of land and capital recovery of machinery and equipment are the two most significant allocated overhead costs that Missouri soybean farmers incur. Funding all inputs involved in Missouri soybean production generated more than an estimated $3.14 billion in total output economic impact and $1.44 million in valueadded economic impact on average per year during 2010, 2011 and Estimated Total Annual Output Estimated Total Annual Estimated Total Annual Economic Earnings Value Added $3,141,519,688 $667,905,368 $1,449,556,866 Farm Level Sector Soybeans are Missouri s leading commodity for cash receipts. Missouri soybean cash receipts totaled $2.29 billion in 2012, and they averaged $2.31 billion per year between 2010 and During 2010, 2011 and 2012, they represented on average 24.8 percent of Missouri s total farm receipts and 6.2 percent of the total U.S. soybean cash receipts. From 2010 to 2012, farmer revenue from soybean production annually boosted Missouri s economy by more than an estimated $1.7 billion in total value added economic impact and an estimated $4.23 billion in total output economic impact. Estimated Total Annual Output Estimated Total Annual Estimated Total Annual Economic Earnings Value Added $4,236,873,976 $666,495,360 $1,706,505,828 Off Farm Storage Sector The storage sector supports the Missouri soybean industry, especially in highly productive years when on farm storage isn t sufficient. Firms that store Missouri soybeans annually contributed an estimated $12.62 million in value added economic impact on average between 2010 and Off Farm Truck Transportation Sector Estimated Total Annual Value Added $12,628,144 Trucking is another industry that supports Missouri soybean production. Semi trucks fulfill a majority of soybean transportation assignments. Firms involved in transporting Missouri Page 2 of 20

Missouri crushing facilities process a share of those soybeans that haven t been exported internationally. The remaining share is processed in neighboring states. Processing all Missouri produced soybeans that aren t exported annually contributed more than $7.01 billion in total output economic impact on average and $1.94 billion in total value added economic impact on average during 2010, 2011 and Estimated Total Annual Output Estimated Total Annual Estimated Total Annual Economic Earnings Value Added $7,014,139,406 $1,044,227,270 $1,943,232,625 An estimated 60 percent of Missouri produced soybeans crushed domestically were annually processed in Missouri during 2010, 2011 and 2012, and soybean processing activity in Missouri generates economic impact for the state. Between 2010 and 2012, processing soybeans in Missouri annually created an estimated $4.24 billion in total output economic impact, $ million in earnings economic impact and $1.17 billion in valueadded economic impact. Estimated Total Annual Output Estimated Total Annual Estimated Total Annual Economic Earnings Value Added $4,244,743,877 $631,934,590 $1,175,985,293 Biodiesel Sector Missouri biodiesel refineries produce both biodiesel and glycerin. Between 2010 and 2012, Missouri refineries annually produced an estimated million gallons of biodiesel using soybean oil. The annual value added economic impact from biodiesel and glycerin production is estimated to have averaged $ million per year from 2010 to Exports Sector Estimated Total Annual Value Added $328,718,054 When exporting Missouri soybeans and soybean products, exporters add value by coordinating sales with foreign buyers. As an annual average, exporters added an estimated $9.35 million in value added economic impact per year between 2010 and Estimated Total Annual Value Added $9,353,323 Page 3 of 20

8 Chapter I. Input Sector 1.1 Production Costs Exhibit presents soybean cost of production data. Opportunity cost of land is estimated using USDA National Agricultural Statistics Service data. The other costs are USDA Economic Research Service estimates for the Heartland Region, which includes Missouri and parts of Iowa, Illinois, Nebraska, South Dakota, Kentucky, Indiana and Ohio. Production costs include seed, fertilizer and chemicals; custom operations; fuel, lube and electricity; repairs; and interest on operating capital. Total annual operating costs averaged $ per acre between 2010 and Seed, fertilizer and chemical costs are the most significant operating expenses. Allocated overhead costs incurred are for hired labor; opportunity cost of unpaid labor; capital recovery of machinery and equipment; opportunity cost of land, or the land rental rate; taxes and insurance; and general farm overhead, which includes farm supplies, marketing containers, hand tools, power equipment, maintenance and repair of farm buildings, farm utilities and general business expenses. The opportunity cost of land and capital recovery of machinery and equipment are the most significant allocated overhead costs incurred for producing soybeans.

9 Each year, spending on soybean production inputs provides a significant boost to the agriculture economy. Between 2010 and 2012, on average, Missouri soybean producers annually planted 5.3 million acres of soybeans. After considering the three year average cost of production, Exhibit displays production costs incurred for Missouri soybean production. Combined, annual production expenditures were an estimated $1.85 billion. Excluding the cost of land, annual soybean production expenditures were $1.32 billion. The three industries that benefited most from soybean production in Missouri, excluding land, were capital recovery of machinery and equipment ($415 million annually on average), seed ($306.3 million annually on average) and fertilizer ($111.7 million annually on average), according to the USDA Economic Research Service and USDA National Agricultural Statistics Service.

20 Chapter 5: Processing Sector 5.1 Soybean Processing Soybean processing involves crushing soybeans into meal, oil and hulls. According to soybean quality data from the U.S. Soybean Export Council and historical USDA Economic Research Service soybean processed value data, a typical bushel of Missouri soybeans is estimated to yield pounds of meal, 11.4 pounds of oil and 3.49 pounds of hulls. Per pound, soybean oil is more valuable than meal or hulls. For the 2010 to 2012 marketing years, central Illinois soy product prices averaged $0.51 per pound for soybean oil, $0.20 per pound for soybean meal and $0.09 per pound for soybean hulls, according to the USDA Agricultural Marketing Service. 5.2 Economic of Processing Missouri Soybeans Missouri produced soybeans that aren t exported internationally are crushed into meal, oil and hulls. Exhibit presents the economic impact that s estimated to have been generated annually by crushing all Missouri soybeans that aren t exported. Between 2010 and 2012, processing Missouri produced soybeans annually created $7.01 billion in total output economic impact and $1.94 billion in total value added economic impact.

21 Chapter 6: Biodiesel Sector 6.1 Biodiesel Production Between 2010 and 2012, Missouri produced an estimated million gallons of biodiesel using soybean oil, based on Missouri Department of Agriculture data. The average assumed B100 price is $4.64 per gallon, according to The Jacobsen. Given that producing a gallon of biodiesel requires 7.7 pounds of soybean oil, Missouri biodiesel production required an estimated million gallons of soybean oil per year between 2010 and 2012, according to the Food and Policy Research Institute at the University of Missouri. Biodiesel production also yields glycerin. Producing one gallon of biodiesel yields one pound of glycerin, according to the Missouri Soybean Association. Crude glycerin may be processed further into refined glycerin. Between 2010 and 2012, crude glycerin price averaged $0.10 per pound, and refined glycerin price averaged $0.40 per pound, according to The Jacobsen. 6.2 Biodiesel Sector Economic Exhibit outlines the economic contribution that biodiesel and glycerin production makes in Missouri. Missouri biodiesel production added an estimated $ million in value per year between 2010 and Glycerin production, both crude and refined glycerin, annually created an estimated $16.53 million in value added economic impact between 2010 and Exhibit Annual Estimated Economic of Biodiesel Sector Subsector Total Value Added Biodiesel $312,180,221 Glycerin $16,537,833 Total $328,718,054 Page 17 of 20

22 Chapter 7: Exports Sector 7.1 Soybean and Soybean Product Exports According to USDA Foreign Agricultural Service data, annual Missouri soybean product exports are estimated to have averaged 9.96 million bushels of soybeans, million pounds of soybean meal and million pounds of soybean oil between 2010 and Exports Sector Economic Exporting soybeans is another activity that adds value to Missouri grown soybeans. Exhibit describes the annual estimated value added economic impact generated by exporting Missouri soybeans, soybean meal and soybean oil between 2010 and Exporting whole soybeans added an estimated $3.08 million in value per year. Soybean meal exporting and soybean oil exporting contributed an estimated $4.45 million and $1.81 million, respectively, in value added economic impact during each year of the three year period.

23 Methodology Data used to compute the economic impacts originated from sources including USDA Economic Research Service, USDA National Agricultural Statistics Service, USDA Agricultural Marketing Service, University of Missouri Extension, the Missouri Soybean Association, U.S. Soybean Export Council, the Missouri Department of Agriculture, the Food and Policy Research Institute at the University of Missouri, The Jacobsen and USDA Foreign Agricultural Service. Prices used in the computations are for locations in Missouri or near Missouri. When possible, data were collected from 2010 to 2012 marketing years. Soybean marketing years start in September and end in August to 2012 data averages were used in computations to represent the general state of the soybean industry s economic contribution. Using an average avoids a single year s data skewing the economic impact estimations. To compute economic impact values, industry output and economic multipliers were used. Economic multipliers estimate the amount of economic activity that occurs due to a $1 change in an industry s output. The economic multipliers used in this report were obtained from the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis and are multipliers produced by the Regional Input Output Modeling System, or RIMS II, based on a national benchmark input output table from 2002 and regional data from RIMS II generates multipliers that can be used to estimate the impact [of a] final demand change on total gross output, earnings, employment, and value added, according to the Bureau of Economic Analysis. Multipliers used for this report are benchmark, type I multipliers, which consider direct and indirect economic effects, not induced economic effects. The value added multiplier applied to the exports sector was downward adjusted to reflect that some of the value added occurs outside of Missouri. As many as three economic impacts output, earnings and value added are calculated for industries and sectors involved in Missouri soybean production. Value added multipliers are exclusively used to quantify the economic contribution made by industries that support the Missouri soybean industry: storage, transportation, biodiesel and exports. Output multipliers measure the total dollar change in output that occurs in all industries for each additional dollar of output delivered to final demand by the industry corresponding to the entry. Earnings multipliers measure the total dollar change in earnings of households employed in all industries for each additional dollar of output delivered to final demand by the industry corresponding to the entry.
