Tennessee Considerations for 2018

• Old crop (2017)• National prices will improve late 2017 to early 2018  as the typical post harvest price trend should emerge.

• Tennessee basis is likely to remain weak

• South American weather, macro economic conditions, and trade will dictate any major price changes.

• New crop (2018)• Domestic carry over will continue to weigh on prices however a glimmer of hope may occur if global stocks decline as projected by the USDA

• Planted acreage will be dictated by relative prices (soybeans and cotton), crop insurance prices, and South American crop progress.

Price ratio is one out of three relative ratios to consider (price, 

yield, & cost)

Key Issues for 2018

• Global supply of grains remains record large

• Trade • Competition for exports from South America

• Huge unknown in trade policy/bilateral/multilateral trade agreements

• U.S. 2018 acres planted?

• Macro economic conditions and domestic policy

• Look for  continued low prices $3.00‐$4.00 per bushel with the possibility of improved new crop price prospects

• Take advantage of marketing opportunities when they are presented
