When examining the leasing option, a farm needs to decide, along with the landowner, whether they want to use a cash lease, a crop share lease, or a flexible cash lease.
Read MoreRecorded June 6, 2019 | As a follow-up to their previous webinar, Purdue agricultural economists James Mintert and Michael Langemeier analyze the potential returns from taking the Prevented Planting option for corn and compare it to potential returns from delayed planting of both corn and soybeans, under a couple of different scenarios.
Read MoreSoybean storage returns are examined in this article. The method of measuring those returns is similar to corn. Please read the corn storage return article in this publication for that information. One difference is that the harvest price for soybeans was assumed to be the cash prices in the first two weeks of October, while the corn harvest price was assumed to be the last two weeks of October.
Read MoreThe corn and soybeans storage returns articles examine long run averages. These can be somewhat misleading when there is a lot of variation from year to year. For this reason we are providing a peek at the weekly speculative on-farm corn returns data for the last ten years.
Read MoreGrain storage is an important marketing function that provides “time value” to the grain. Grain production occurs at harvest time, but usage is spread throughout the marketing year. Thus storage is required to remove the harvest surplus and then to allocate that surplus to users in an orderly manner until the next harvest.
Read MoreExamining the competitiveness of crop production in different regions of the world is difficult due to lack of comparable data and agreement regarding what needs to be measured. To be useful, international data needs to be expressed in common production units and converted to a common currency. Also, production and cost measures need to be consistently defined across production regions.f-
