Thoughts for 2012 and Beyond • General economic conditions • Continued worldwide economic recovery is a major key for crop prices • US job recovery, European financial concerns, Chinese inflation • Supply/demand concerns • Smaller than anticipated U.S. crops • Biofuel growth and energy demand • Corn still has the upper hand in the acreage competition • Will supply be able to keep pace with demand? • 2011/12: USDA: Corn $6.70; Soy $13.15 • Futures (as of 10/25/11): Corn $6.32; Soy $11.97 • 2012/13: Futures (as of 10/25/11): Corn $5.90; Soy $11.92
