So, Doc, what are some of the biggest takeaways from the latest USDA reports that maybe the dairy producers should be paying attention to?
3:38
Yeah, I think the biggest takeaway from the September Wall Street report is that we can see a feed cost inflation for sure.
3:46
And the projected corn farm price is $4.8 per bushel for corn, and it was $4.15 last month.
3:59
And also for soybean, we see the projected farm prices will be $12 per bushel in September and compared to last month is $10.50. And both of the corn and soybean prices inflated about 15%.
4:15
And also, if you look at the soybean meal, which is up about $5 per short-term in 2025, 2026 year, and it's up about $30 per short-term for the 2026 and 2027, so that dairy producers definitely face a higher production cost.
4:37
And also, we see from the WASDE report that all milk prices almost unchanged for the 2026 and 2027. and these prices are lower than the 2024 or 2025.
4:49
So that given the prices are fixed on change and have a higher production cost, I think farm profitability may be a concern this year for dairy producers.
