Afterthoughts …
A “perfect storm” brewing to open the debate over the next farm bill: Record hi net income predicted this yr Record hi exports predicted this yr Record hi food/commodity prices predicted
“Good news” for producers?
Input prices are going up Anti-ag program groups will use to say farmers don’t need tax payers
money any more; “the market is taking care of them” “the cure for hi prices is hi prices” Volatility in oil prices could last longer Weather patterns, esp. precipitation, have returned to more volatile
patterns than during the 1980-2000 period Risk management remains the single most important planning tool for
producers With cuts at fed level & cuts at state level, local economies have yet to
see the worst
