Thoughts for 2014 and Beyond • Supply/demand concerns • Corn demand rebounding? Yes, so far, so good • Acreage allocation for 2014: Where do the extra corn acres go? • Markets favoring soybeans in the short term and corn longer term

Ideas on the Next Farm Bill • Let’s look at the common features from the House and Senate bills • Both versions of the farm bill eliminate direct payments, countercyclical payments, ACRE, and SURE • The marketing loan program would continue • Livestock disaster programs would be reestablished
Reference Prices Senate: 55% of 5-yr Olympic average MYA price House: Set by law Corn $3.70 Wheat $5.50 Soybean $8.40
ARC or RLC instead of ACRE Revenue-based support program Revenues based on 5-year Olympic averages for yields and prices Yields and prices have cups (T-yields and reference prices)
AMP or PLC instead of CCP Price-based support program Reference prices establish targets Works like CCP Payment rate = Max(0, Reference price – Max(MYA price, Loan rate))
Dairy • Dairy Producer Margin Protection Program • Voluntary margin coverage, with the opportunity for supplemental coverage • Dairy Market Stabilization Program • Managed supplies when margins fall
