  7. Thoughts for 2012 and Beyond • Supply/demand concerns • We got some rain, too little, too late • Biofuel growth and energy demand, RFS? • Will supply be able to keep pace with demand? • Drought is pulling supply down • But high prices are diminishing demand • General economic conditions • Continued worldwide economic recovery is a key for crop prices • US job recovery, European financial concerns, China? • 2012/13: USDA: Corn $8.20; Soy $16.00 Futures (as of 8/16/12): Corn $7.48; Soy $14.89 • 2013/14: Futures Corn $5.99; Soy $12.14 • 2014/15: Futures Corn $5.46; Soy $11.73
