USDA 2008 World Corn Yields 6/10/08

There will not be enough money to raise crops this big next year

World coarse grain ending stocks tight

U.S. ending stocks are tight

Exports off to slow start

Ethanol demand slowing

We still need a big corn crop every year

Price peak due in Mar – June in 2009

Corn Situation and Price Outlook

World soybean ending stocks not as tight as corn or wheat, but demand is solid.

US stocks very tight

Look for shrinking 2009 crop in S. America

Prices currently tied to China demand and S. American weather

Bean Situation and Price Outlook

World wheat ending stocks burdensome in 2009

US stocks adequate

Look for shrinking 2009 world crop

Prices currently and likely to be dominated by former Soviet Union production

Roach Ag Sales Plan1. Make as many of your sales as possible

during the months of March, April, May and June. Avoid October and November

2. Sell in increments to take advantage of several market peaks using Roach Ag Sell Signals

3. Buy puts on unsold new crop production with either profit goal or insurance goal

•Focus the majority of sales in the 1st half of the year

•March through June is usually best

Rule # 1

December 2007 Corn

Both Lines Over 75 = Roach Ag Sell Signal

Roach Ag Sell & Buy SignalsYour Digital Thermometer For Prices

Roach Ag Sell SignalsWhen Both Lines Are Above 75 = Sell Signal

Roach Ag 2007 Corn Sell Signals56 Days of Sell Signals ($3.91) and 272 Days Without ($3.71)

•Sell only when markets are giving us a Roach Ag Sell Signal

Rule # 2

•Figure out the percentage of bushels you are comfortable selling each and every spring and tie that % to the your crop insurance policy coverage level

Rule # 3

•Make sure you have enough on-farm or other owned storage to hold the balance of a crop using your best ever yields

Rule # 4

•Make sure you sell enough in the spring prior to harvest to generate necessary cash-flow from harvest through February

Rule # 5

•Split your old crop bushels and new crop contracts into between 3 and 5 increments and sell one increment of each on each Sell Signal

Rule # 6

Put Opportunity - Buy Buy Puts on some of the Crop Puts on some of the Crop You Do Not Want to Sell You Do Not Want to Sell on a Cash Contracton a Cash Contract
