Thoughts for 2011 and Beyond • General economic conditions • Continued worldwide economic recovery is a major key for crop prices • Debt limit, US credit rating • US job recovery, European financial concerns, Chinese inflation • Supply/demand concerns • Prevented planting, flooding, heat wave, nighttime temps? • Biofuel growth and energy demand • Will supply be able to keep pace with demand? • 2010/11: USDA Corn $5.25 • 2011/12: USDA Corn $6.70 • Futures (as of 8/15/2011) Corn $6.95 • 2012/13: Futures (as of 8/15/2011) Corn $6.27
