Thoughts for 2011 and Beyond • General economic conditions • Continued economic recovery is a major key for crop prices • Fears of Chinese inflation and credit tightening have hit the markets • Long-term oil prices are now in the $100 range • Supply/demand concerns • South America: La Niña impacts (Argentina , Brazil ) • Biofuels: E10, E12, or E15; Ethanol & Biodiesel tax credits renewed • Will supply be able to keep pace with demand? • 2010/11: USDA: Corn $5.40, Soy $11.70 Futures (as of 2/18/2011): Corn $5.66, Soy $11.97 • 2011/12: Futures (as of 2/18/2011): Corn $5.96, Soy $12.87
