Changes in Demand • Feed & Residual • Livestock profitability is being driven by exports • Beef continued contraction from drought • Pork slight expansion • Poultry modest expansion • Dairy slight contraction • Residual expands and contracts with the size of the crop • Ethanol • Current margins are negative • Ethanol stocks are high • Will ethanol exports be there this year? • Will high gasoline price accelerate declining consumption? • Exports • Up some, Up a lot?
