Episode 170. Crop Market Outlook with Dr. Tian
20:22

3:31Larry TranelHOST
So, Doc, what are some of the biggest takeaways from the latest USDA reports that maybe the dairy producers should be paying attention to?
G
3:38Guang TianGUEST
Yeah, I think the biggest takeaway from the September Wall Street report is that we can see a feed cost inflation for sure.
G
3:46Guang TianGUEST
And the projected corn farm price is $4.8 per bushel for corn, and it was $4.15 last month.
G
3:59Guang TianGUEST
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%.
G
4:15Guang TianGUEST
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.
G
4:37Guang TianGUEST
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.
G
4:49Guang TianGUEST
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.
