Thoughts for 2012 and Beyond • Continued economic recovery is a major key for livestock prices • Meat demand is recovering • Meat supplies tightened up with smaller herds/flocks • Feed costs have kept margins tight • The combination implies livestock expansion will take awhile • Poultry is currently backing off, Hogs are expanding slightly, and Cattle will not start expanding for a few years

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 • Supply/demand concerns • Smaller than anticipated U.S. crops, worries about dry conditions • Biofuel growth and energy demand • Corn has the upper hand in the acreage competition • Will supply be able to keep pace with demand? • 2011/12: USDA: Corn $6.40; Soy $11.70 • Futures (as of 12/9/11): Corn $5.73; Soy $11.06 • 2012/13: Futures (as of 12/9/11): Corn $5.36; Soy $10.99
