The April 9 , USDA WASDE Report is projecting record soybean exports and lower ending stocks for old crop soybeans and corn.
Soybeans
Projected U.S. soybean exports for 2008-09 were increased 25 million bushels to a record 1.21 billion bushels, reflecting strong year-to-date shipments and outstanding sales, and prospects for reduced export competition from South America as the Argentina soybean crop continues to deteriorate. Soybean production for Argentina is projected at 39 million tons, down 4 million tons due to lower harvested area and yields. Soybean production for Brazil remains unchanged at 57 million tons. U.S. soybean ending stocks were reduced 20 million bushels to a projected 165 million bushels, the lowest since 2003-04.
The U.S. season-average soybean price range for 2008-09 is projected at $9.25 to $10.05 per bushel compared with $8.85 to $9.85 per bushel in March.
Corn
U.S. corn ending stocks for 2008-09 were projected 40 million bushels lower in April as higher expected feed and residual use more than offset a reduction in food, seed, and industrial use. The 2008-09 season-average farm price for corn is projected at $4.00 to $4.40 per bushel, up 10 cents on both ends of the range. This compares with the 2007-08 record of $4.20 per bushel. The projected sorghum farm price was raised 10 cents on both ends of the range to $3.15 to $3.45 per bushel.
Wheat
U.S. wheat ending stocks for 2008-09 were projected 16 million bushels lower in April. Imports were projected 5 million bushels higher mostly reflecting the pace of hard red spring and durum wheat imports from Canada. The 2008-09 season-average farm price was projected up 10 cents on the lower end of the range to $6.80 to $6.90 per bushel. This is well above the previous record of $6.48 per bushel in 2007-08.
