  34. Finishing Out the 2008 Crop Year • General economic conditions • A lot of recent market trade has been tied to reaction to the financial crisis and the world’s response • Economic slowdown raises concern about export and energy demand • Most important ag. statistic: Exchange rates or South American production • Current futures are indicating 2008 season-average prices of $3.75-4.25 for corn and $9.25-9.75 for soybeans • Stress on South American crops has provided some support for prices

  35. Thoughts for 2009 and Beyond • Many of the storylines from 2008 will continue • Tight stocks for corn (worldwide) and soybeans (U.S.) • The competition for acreage • Ethanol’s buildout & livestock’s adjustment • Energy price & general economy concerns • Market volatility will remain high • Link to the energy markets • More market players with different trading objectives • Given current factors, the 2009 outlook is for crop prices around $4.00 for corn and $8.50-8.75 for soybeans • Key factor: Economic growth returns by early 2010
