1 Today s Newsletter Market Situation Outlook Forum 1 Grain Use 3 Outside Markets 5 Marketing Strategies Seasonality Feed Grain Marketing Plan 7 Upcoming Reports/Events 10 Market Situation USDA Agricultural Outlook Forum. USDA s baseline model supply and demand projections for the 2017/18 crop marketing year show combined corn, soybean, and wheat acres at million, down from million last year and the lowest in 6 years. These projections are based on the assumption of normal weather and will be updated in the May World Agricultural Supply and Demand Estimates. That update will be the first official estimates of the 2017/18 crop year including information from the Planting Intentions report, survey-based wheat production estimates, and supply and demand forecasts for specific countries. The acreage relation between U.S. corn and soybeans looks more like it did in the early 2000s rather than the strong increase in corn relative to beans in the midst of the ethanol boom. Corn is projected at 90.0 million in 2017, down from 94.0 million last year while beans of 88.0 million (an all-time record high) are up from 83.4 million. All wheat acres are projected at 46.0 million for 2017, down 4.2 million from Million acres 100 U.S. Planted Acres USDA Outlook Forum February Corn Soybeans Wheat USDA, 2/24/2017 1
2 The combined total of million corn, soybean, and wheat acres is 3.6 million acres less than 2016 and is the lowest since million in All three of these crops saw record high yields in Given the model s assumption of normal weather in 2017, production projections of all three crops are lower, even soybeans, where the increase in acres does not compensate for the yield adjustment. Corn Supply and Demand. The drop in corn acres reflects the price relationship between corn and soybeans that has been in place since last summer. The soybean price relative to corn has been above 2.5 which means soybeans show to be more profitable than corn for many Midwest farmers. USDA s corn trendline yield of bushels per acre is about 4 bushels less than last year. In the report, USDA notes that this is a weather adjusted trend. Using yields since 1960, a straight line yield projection for 2017 is 167 bushels per acre. USDA s acreage and yield numbers combine for a billion bushel corn crop in 2017, down over a billion bushels from But higher beginning stocks cut that loss in half, total supply is only down 505 million bushels. A yield of 167 bushels would lower production to billion bushels, down 1.4 billion from last year and lower the total supply by 800 million bushels. USDA notes that while it cut corn use by 400 million bushels in the coming marketing year, it is still the second highest corn use total on record. The big change is in the export category where an increase in foreign production is expected to create more export competition. The export projection of 1.9 billion bushels is down from billion currently, a drop of 325 million bushels. The other significant adjustment is to the feed and residual category. Grain consuming animal units are expected to increase again in 2017 but USDA lowered this number expecting the residual portion to decline with a lower level of production. With the corn supply in 2017/18 down 500 million bushels and use down 400 million, ending stocks are lower but only by 100 million bushels. Projected ending stocks drop from billion to billion and the stocks to use ratio declines from 15.9% to 15.6%. That small of a change suggests an increase in the season average farm price of 10 cents, from $3.40 in the 2016/17 marketing year to $3.50 in 2017/18. That would drop the PLC payment in 2017 to 20 cents per bushel, down from a projected 30 cents in

The current pace needed to reach that target is 20 million bushels per week. Grain sorghum sales of 137 million bushels are 61% of the marketing year target with a pace of 3 million per week need to reach 225 million for the year. 3

The index is comprised of 10 economic components and is designed to predict the future direction of the overall economy.

Though every crop year is different, the seasonal index for the December corn futures contract indicates that favorable pricing opportunities are more likely in the first half of the crop year. The pattern so far this year is consistent with the average seasonal index Feed Grain Marketing Plan. We are near the end of the window of RMA base price discovery. Currently, the 20-day average of the November soybean to December corn price ratio for 2017 is That is a level that favors soybean returns over corn returns in many mid-west crop budgets. Last year the price ratio of the RMA base prices was 2.29; the ratio during the survey period for the Planting Intentions report was

9 Today s supply and demand projections for corn show a small decrease in ending stocks with 90 million acres planted and a yield of about 171 bushels. At the current use level, a small increase in yield above trend, about bushels, and ending stocks would be constant. A yield of 171 bushels and 91 million acres does the same thing. That indicates that with only minor changes to production, ending stocks do not go down at all and the upward price pressure for 2017 would be off. A straight line trend yield estimate of 167 bushels means we need 93 million acres to keep stocks steady.
