Outline
• Long‐term Price Outlook– Corn– Forage– Wheat– Cattle– Sheep & Lambs– Others…
• Short‐term Price Comments.• General Economy
I would love to stand here and tell you, “$5.00 corn, $8.00 wheat and $3.00

Ed Usset’s: “A Fresh Start” Marketing
• Have a plan.– Planning & wishing are different.
• Find a dime.– This year’s big moves will be smaller than prior years.
• Know your costs of production.– What is your target profit or rate of return?
• Eliminate mistakes.– What did you do wrong last year?

Marketing?
• Forward selling needs to be considered one day of the week each week of the year.
• Set a target, be reasonable, & sell some when you can get that.
• Write it down.• Do your fundamentals.• Do your technical analysis.• Sell when they say sell & buy when they say buy.• Marketing will not fix production/cost problems.

93/76 = 1.224. So foreign buyers of our commodities face a 22% increase in prices before even they get a chance to buy the commodities.
It’s not as bad as in the early-2000’s or the entire 1980s. But it’s worse than the Great Recession.
