  31. Thoughts for 2009/10 and Beyond • General economic conditions • Continued economic recovery is a major key for crop prices • Weakness in the dollar helps exports, but dollar may fight back • Nearby crude oil prices floating in mid $70’s and lower $80’s • But we’re seeing in long-term prices (over the last month) • Supply/demand concerns • South America: Record soybean crop and large corn crop • Weather concerns for planting • 2009/10: USDA: Corn $3.60, Soy $9.45 Futures: Corn $3.49, Soy $9.41 • 2010/11: USDA: Corn $3.60, Soy $8.80 Futures: Corn $3.70, Soy $8.86
