Early Focus on the Prospective Size of 2013 US Corn Crop
2013-01-23 01:00:00| ThePigSite - Industry News
US - The drought reduced US corn crop of 2012 suggested that corn prices might behave in a pattern generally described as "short crops have long tails." The phrase depicts the expectation of rapidly rising prices that peak near harvest time, decline in an unspecified pattern over the next several months, and return to pre-drought levels as early as the following marketing year. The decline in prices is expected as a result of a slowdown in consumption and a return to normal production, writes Darrel Good.

Texas Economist: Record-Large Corn Crop Possible
2013-01-16 15:52:00| National Hog Farmer
Source: Reuters U.S. corn production, slashed dramatically by drought in 2012, could rebound to a record-large crop this year if yields improve moderately, said an agricultural economist from Texas A&M University on Monday in a report filed by Reuters. Economist David Anderson also said pork production could top beef in 2014, pushing beef into third place in U.S. meat production. Poultry and pork production are on the rise while beef is held back by high feed costs and drought-damaged grassland. read more
