Do you agree with USDA that a bigger corn harvest could be on the way in 2013, and that corn prices could dip below $5/bushel?

Weather in 2012 dealt pork producers one of the worst droughts in the last 50 years. Now that the calendar has flipped to March, and producers' thoughts have turned to tilling the soil, do you agree with USDA that a bigger corn harvest could be on the way in 2013, and that corn prices could dip below $5/bushel? I'm optimistic that planting will start early as the groundhog didn't see his shadow. More moisture means a better corn harvest and could result in $5 corn. I'm resigned to the fact that winter will drag on, delaying corn planting. Hopefully more moisture will mean better corn yields, but hardly $5 corn. I'm not confident the moisture is enough to take a bite out of the drought, and thus produce more corn and cheaper prices. The drought is not over and I expect another year of tight corn stocks and corn prices close to last year's $7/bushel.
North Dakota Corn Yield Trials Have Success with Conventional Corn Hybrids

Conventional Corn Success | Northern Plot Non-GM Hybrid Yields 286 Bu. GM hybrids aren't the only "elite" germplasm. G2 Genetics' 3-H-399 AgrisureRW hybrid, with a full complement of GM (genetically modified) traits, captured headlines with a record 309.5 bu./acre yield in the North Dakota University (NDSU) irrigated corn trials. However, the conventional hybrid runner up may suggest an even bigger story. read more

March 2013 WASDE: Corn, Soybean Ending Stocks Unchanged, Prices Lowered, Narrowed
2013-03-08 22:48:00| Corn & Soybean Digest
Source: USDA Projected 2012-2013 U.S. corn ending stocks are unchanged this month as an increase in imports and lower exports support higher expected feed and residual disappearance. U.S. soybean supply and use projections for 2012-2013 are unchanged this month, leaving ending stocks at 125 million bushels. Prices are also down and narrowed for both crops for the 2013 season. read more

Finer Corn Grinding Improves Efficiency
2013-03-07 21:58:00| National Hog Farmer
H.H. Stein and O.J. Rojas, University of Illinois University of Illinois research finds that reducing corn particle size boosts feed conversion rates and cuts total diet costs. Conventional wisdom recommends that corn be milled to an average particle size of approximately 650 microns. Finer grind has been avoided due to concerns over pigs developing ulcers. read more
