Thoughts for 2009 and Beyond • General economic conditions • Recession concerns still hold significant power in the markets • Projected economic recovery is a major key for crop prices for the 2009 crop year • Continued weakness in the dollar helping exports • Most important ag. statistics: Weather forecast, feed demand • USDA is indicating 2009 season-average prices in the neighborhood of $3.35 for corn and $9.10 for soybeans • Current futures Yesterday: Corn $3.14, Soy $8.70
