Thoughts for 2010 and Beyond • General economic conditions • Continued economic recovery is a major key for crop prices • Long-term oil price remain in the $90 range • Supply/demand concerns • Yield and production effects of Midwestern moisture and temperature • Stocks: 2009 vs. 2010 crop • South America: La Niña impacts • Biofuels: E10, E12, or E15; Do the tax credits get extended/renewed? • Will supply be able to keep pace with demand? • 2010/11: USDA: Corn $5.00, Soy $10.75 Futures: Corn $5.01, Soy $10.96 • 2011/12: Futures: Corn $4.93, Soy $10.88
