1 3.3 Real Returns Above Variable Costs Several factors can impact the returns above variable costs for crop producers. Over a long period of time, sustained increases in the growth rate for purchased inputs can reduce the net margin if output prices do not move at the same rate. Also over the long run, increase in yield or productivity can increase the returns on a per acre basis and potentially reduce the costs on a per unit basis; for example if yields increase but the same amount of fuel is burnt to establish the crop and care for it. In the very short term, a given growing season, the most significant factor impacting net returns will be output price changes and yield variation due to weather. One contrast between the impacts of the two previously mentioned factors is that commodity prices from one region to another tend to move together, e.g., the corn price in the Midwest will not move dramatically in any direction without corn prices in other regions moving in the same direction. Variation caused by yield, usually to the downside, is typically isolated to a single geographic area and may or may not have a significant impact on output prices. The price received that is used in the calculation of crop revenue is based on a harvest period price including the impact of quality adjustment and farmers use of cash forward contracts. The estimates do not include the impact of farmers use of futures markets to protect a net price level. The following figures by crop are all national data based on 5 year moving averages and include both the income and expense from crop insurance as well as the income from government programs for which payment is dependent on producing the crop, for example loan deficiency payments. While loan deficiency payments have decreased significantly in the past few years due to stronger market prices, they are a legacy factor in USDA Return above Variable Costs calculations. Corn Measured in year 2000 currency, real net returns from corn production averaged $167 per acre (not including land costs) over the period 1980 to 2011, sank to a low of $60 in 1986, and rose to a peak of $382 in On a per bushel basis, corn net returns above variable costs (not including land costs) averaged $1.20 and experienced a low in 1986 of $0.33 and a high of $3.44 per bushel in During the period 1980 to 2011, corn returns have seen sustained periods of strength during the early years (through the middle 1980s) and more recently since 2006 to present. The largest determinant in the years of strong commodity prices was high corn prices. Charted averages are 5 year moving averages (Figure 2.3). According to a recent USDA analysis of U.S. farm financial performance, total returns on farm business assets (from current income plus capital gains) are estimated at 8.6 percent in 2010 (with 2.1-percent growth in returns from current income and 6.5-percent growth in returns from capital gains). Given the continued strong farm income situation and growth in farmland values, the situation for 2011 appears to have continued to strengthen USDA ERS. 2011).Agricultural Income and Finance Outlook.

2 Cotton Lint Cotton yields have experienced relatively consistent growth over time with a long-run trend of about 1% annually over the past 30 years. Yield on a planted acre basis reached a record high driven by very favorable weather across most regions, particularly Texas. These strong yields and, more recently, a near doubling in the season average price have caused real net returns above variable cost to begin to increase or at least stabilize (Figure 2.4). The farm level cotton price has increased from $0.42 per pound in 2004 and is anticipated to increase to approximately $0.92 per pound in 2011/2012 marketing year. The run up in cotton prices was a few years behind that which occurred in most grain and oilseed crops and consequently caused a significant drop in area devoted to cotton production. Cotton has seen considerable increases in its cost over time as have many crops. Crop insurance is a widely used program and production challenges in recent years have caused crop insurance payouts to be considerable. Rice Similar to other grain crops, rice in the early 1980s experienced high prices on an inflation adjusted basis and 5 year average net returns reached a high $303 per acre and $6.66 per cwt. in 1984 (Figure 2.5). Through the late 1980s and all of the 1990s, rice per acre real returns hovered around $150 to $200 per acre and around $3.00 per cwt. High crop output prices in recent years and strong yields have allowed per acre net returns to rise above the past highs and reached nearly $400 in real dollars (year 2000). Rice returns per cwt continued to rise in recent years, reaching $5.71 in Rice production in the United States is fully irrigated, thus reducing yield variation due to weather; this likely explains why the year-toyear variation in returns is less than for other crops, however a full analysis of drivers that is beyond the scope of this report would be necessary to confirm this. Soybeans Over the period 1980 through 2011 soybeans real net returns above variable costs averaged $5.31 per bushel with a high of $11.06 in 1980 and a low of $3.06 in Returns in 2011 are projected to have been approximately $7.00 per bushel. On a real year 2000 basis, the low for per acre net returns was $126 in 1999 and the high is projected for 2011 at $286. The average for the period is $183, year 2000 dollars, per planted acre. Charted averages are 5 year moving averages (Figure 2.6). Wheat Wheat returns adjusted for inflation (real 2000 dollars) peaked in the early 1980s due to high real crop prices and generally favorable yields in the United States. In 1984 the 5-year average per acre real returns hit $108 and fell to a low $48 in The sustained rise in grain price over the last several years has pushed real returns back up to $106 in The average for the period was $68 per acre. On a per bushel basis, high and low wheat returns coincided with the same years as the per acre measure. The 5 year average per bushel returns for the period 1989 through 2011 were $2.07 with a low of $1.42 in 2005 and $3.46 in 1984 (Figure 2.7). 128

6 Regional Real Returns Over Variable Costs Corn Regional data for corn net returns are presented for the years 1996 through While the regional returns have a pattern of better profits in the early years as well as the most recent years some regional dispersion does occur during the period. In 1998 the Southern Seaboard region saw a dramatic dip in corn yields in 1998 to 64 bushels per planted acre while many other regions saw favorable growing conditions. During 2008 and 2009 the Southern seaboard and the Northern Crescent saw relatively poor productivity levels while other regions saw favorable levels causing these regions to significantly underperform the other regions. See Figures 2.8, 2.9 and 2.18 for more detail regarding corn regional real returns over variables costs results. Cotton Lint Real net returns for cotton lint by region are considerably variable over time with those for the Prairie Gateway (largely Texas) being the most variable and averaging the lowest over the period of 7 cents per pound over the 1997 to 2010 time period. With respect to the Prairie gateway region most all crops experience considerable production variation due to moisture stress and yield variability. Please note that for cotton lint production, the Heartland region includes Missouri only. Rice The Mid-South and Gulf Coast rice-growing regions primarily produce long-grain rice, while California produces primarily medium and short-grain rice. Long-grain rice has a significantly different price and market situation, with recently lower prices, on average, than medium and short-grain rice prices. Part of this is due to the uses of the different types of rice, and because some of the export-market demand for U.S. medium-grain rice is the result of previouslynegotiated trade agreements that require certain levels of U.S.-rice imports. See Figures 2.12, 2.13 and 2.20 for more detail regarding rice regional real returns over variables costs results. Soybeans Regional soybeans cost and returns data for the period 1997 through 2010 are available from USDA. Over that period the Eastern Upland and Southern Seaboard regions saw significant declines in real returns in 1999 due to low yields. In 1999 per acre net returns in the Eastern Uplands dropped to $15 dollars per acre due to a significant yield decline to only 22 bushels per acre. See Figures 2.14, 2.15 and 2.21 for more detail regarding soybeans regional real returns over variables costs results. See Figures 2.10, 2.11 and 2.19 for more detail regarding cotton lint regional real returns over variables costs results. 132
7 Wheat On a regional basis the dominant wheat growing areas (Northern Great Plains and the Prairie Gateway) experience the greatest range of net returns while less significant growing areas (many of which are East of the Mississippi) experience much less variation in returns. For both Prairie Gateway and Northern Great Plains, annual rainfall is relatively low, wheat is not irrigated and wheat is grown on a very large acreage. All of these factors could contribute to variability in returns (as well as abandonment of land). While the dominate wheat growing areas see the greatest variation in net returns from one year to the next they tend to be the regions that have seen the highest peaks in net returns. The Southern Seaboard was near zero (0) for returns, while returns were positive for other regions. See Figures 2.16, 2.17 and 2.22 for more detail regarding wheat regional real returns over variables costs results. 133
