farmdoc Webinars

Presented by Todd Hubbs and Scott Irwin Department of Agricultural and Consumer Economics, University of Illinois The webinar reviews the USDA’s U.S. corn and soybean yield and production forecasts released on August 10. The production forecasts will be combined with projections of marketing year consumption in order to project the magnitude of year-ending stocks. The implications for marketing year average prices as well as the likely pattern of prices during the 2018-19 marketing year will be discussed.

The webinar reviews USDA’s June 29 Grain Stocks and Acreage reports and considers balance sheet and price implications for both old and new crop corn and soybeans. The USDA’s estimate of June 1 stocks of corn and soybeans provides a clearer picture of total 2017-18 marketing year consumption, ending stocks, and price prospects. The magnitude of planting acreage clarifies prospects for the size of the 2018 corn and soybean crops with implications for the 2018-19 balance sheets and price prospects. Presented by Todd Hubbs and Scott Irwin.

Presented by Todd Hubbs and Scott Irwin Department of Agricultural and Consumer Economics, University of Illinois The webinar reviews USDA’s March 29 Grain Stocks and Prospective Plantings reports and considers balance sheet and price implications for both old and new crop corn and soybeans. The USDA’s estimate of March 1 stocks of corn and soybeans provide a clearer picture of total 2017-18 marketing year consumption, ending stocks, and price prospects. The report will be especially important for projecting the magnitude of domestic corn consumption for feed use. The magnitude of planting intentions will clarify prospects for the size of the 2018 corn and soybean crops with implications for the 2018-19 balance sheets and price prospects.

This webinar covered farm income estimates for 2017 based on current projections of prices, yields, and ARC-CO payments. Forecasts were made on 2018 cash rents and farmland prices based on a survey of Illinois Society of Professional Farm Managers and Rural Appraisers. An update of agricultural credit conditions was given.

Presented by Darrel Good and Todd Hubbs Department of Agricultural and Consumer Economics, University of Illinois The webinar reviewed the USDA’s U.S. corn and soybean yield and production forecasts released on August 10.

This webinar reviews the USDA stocks and acreage reports released earlier in the day and discusses the implications for both old crop and new crop balance sheets for corn and soybeans. The USDA’s estimate of June 1 stocks of corn and soybeans provides a clearer picture of total 2016-17 marketing year consumption and ending stocks. The report is especially important for projecting the magnitude of domestic corn consumption for feed use. The magnitude of planted acreage, along with our early season yield expectations, will clarify prospects for the size of the 2017 corn and soybean crops with implications for the 2017-18 balance sheets. Implications for prices during the summer months as well as the 2017-18 marketing year is discussed.

Presented by Darrel Good, Scott Irwin and Todd Hubbs Department of Agricultural and Consumer Economics, University of Illinois The webinar will review the USDA’s March Grain Stocks and Prospective Plantings reports and discuss the implications for the supply and demand balance sheets and prices of corn and soybeans for the 2016-17 and 2017-18 marketing years.
