Thoughts for 2011 and Beyond • General economic conditions • Continued worldwide economic recovery is a major key for crop prices • Debt limit, US credit rating • US job recovery, European financial concerns, Chinese inflation • Supply/demand concerns • Prevented planting, flooding, heat wave, nighttime temps? • Biofuel growth and energy demand • Will supply be able to keep pace with demand? • 2010/11: USDA: Corn $5.25, Soy $11.35 • 2011/12: USDA: Corn $6.70, Soy $13.50 • Futures (as of 8/25/2011): Corn $7.17, Soy $13.50
