  2. Grain Outlook, 2003-04 3/10/04 • Near-Record Low world grain stocks • Foreign weather--bad last 2 years • China? • World soy stocks: 9% below 2003, 11% above 2002, 17% above 2001—USDA • Soy exports rationed, but not crush • U.S. soy: record low stocks/use? • U.S. corn/soy yield ratio & ‘04 plantings? • Strong corn domestic & export demand • Market tops probably not be in yet

  18. Key Points • Very Low world grain reserve • Global soybean supplies more adequate -- if S. America crop holds at USDA 3/10/04 • Soybeans: exports rationed, but not crush—strong basis & higher prices to cut margins • Corn export sales recently slowing • Ethanol expansion to continue strong, limiting future export growth potential • Corn, wheat, soybean & product prices explosive if major weather problems • Some downside risk in late spring, summer
