Thoughts for 2009/10 and Beyond • General economic conditions • Recession: Are we done yet? • Projected economic recovery is a major key for crop prices for the 2009 and 2010 marketing years • Weakness in the dollar helping exports, but dollar may fight back • Supply/demand concerns • Livestock numbers continue to decline • Possible record South American soybean crop • USDA is indicating 2009 season-average prices in the neighborhood of $3.70 for corn and $9.65 for soybeans • Futures Jan. 22: Corn $3.51, Soy $9.33 • 2010/11 based on futures Jan. 22: Corn $3.81, Soy $9.01
