2 FAPRI-MU crop market outlook Price projections Farm commodity supply and use that generate those prices Uncertainty around the projections Why prices matter in making program choices

5 FAPRI-MU has been making market projections for 3 years Complex models of U.S. and world markets + analyst expertise DC review of models and projections each December Annual baseline released in early March Updates August update each year For this project, monthly updates September is first official Reflect new information on crop production, demand, etc. We know actual prices will differ We solve for 5 different futures given different assumptions

6 9 8 Corn price, dollars per bushel Corn yield, bushels per acre

7 Corn price, dollars per bushel Avg. of March estimates: bu./a. and $4.17/bu Corn yield, bushels per acre

8 Corn price, dollars per bushel Avg. of March estimates: bu./a. and $4.17/bu. September USDA estimates: bu./a. and $3.5/bu Corn yield, bushels per acre

9 Economic growth, exchange rates, etc. Policy (generally keep current policies) Technology (generally trend growth in crop yields, etc.) Economic choices by producers and consumers Weather and other factors that make markets volatile
