Midwest crops look deceptively good | 07-24-2008
Analysis of: Corn and Soybean Production Prospects Improving | www.farmdoc.uiuc.edu
Author: Philip Corzine, Founder and General Manager, South American Soy LLC

The effects of late planting, cool-wet soils in May, and flooding in June can't be overcome by favorable weather in July and August.  USDA's yield and production estimates may well turn out to be on the optimistic side when we finally get the crop in the bin.

Improving weather and falling commodity prices may keep RFS intact | 07-24-2008
Analysis of: EPA delays RFS waiver ruling | www.ethanolproducer.com
Author: Philip Corzine, Founder and General Manager, South American Soy LLC

The request for a partial waiver in the RFS by Texas Gov. Perry is likely to be denied, largely due to a 25% reduction in corn prices caused by favorable weather in the Midwest.  This corn crop, however, will be extremely difficult to get an accurate estimate on prior to getting it out of the field,...

Ethanol import tariff is now on the table, but move by Brazilian sugar industry could backfire | 07-09-2008

Author: Philip Corzine, Founder and General Manager, South American Soy LLC

Changes in the ethanol production subsidy and import tariff would be an excellent way to moderate the increases in the short-term price of corn, easing the pain for the US livestock industry.  But any change in these policies will have long term impacts on the biofuels sector.   These changes...

Author: Philip Corzine, Founder and General Manager, South American Soy LLC

An over-emphasis on ethanol has combined with a poor production year and a major speculative push on commodity prices to push livestock net returns into the red.  Animal feed has long been US corn and soybeans primary source of demand, but high feed costs, with no way to push up the selling price...

Five percent increase (or less) in Brazilian soy acreage likely, unless fertilizer prices can be brought down in Brazil. | 06-27-2008
Author: Philip Corzine, Founder and General Manager, South American Soy LLC

Just like this time last year, traders in Chicago may believe that Brazilian farmers are poised to significantly expand soybean acreage, as they have moved prices above $15 per bushel.  However, just as they misjudged them last year, they may be doing it again, as fertilizer prices have doubled,...
