Thoughts for 2012 and Beyond • General economic conditions • Continued worldwide economic recovery is a major key for crop prices • US job recovery, European financial concerns • Supply/demand concerns • Smaller than anticipated U.S. crops, worries about dry conditions • Biofuel growth and energy demand • Corn has the upper hand in the acreage competition • Will supply be able to keep pace with demand? • 2011/12: USDA: Corn $6.40; Soy $11.70 • Futures (as of 12/13/11): Corn $5.74; Soy $11.14 • 2012/13: Futures (as of 12/13/11): Corn $5.39; Soy $11.05
