2012 Was A Very Unique Year
For the first time in more than 3 decades the U.S. Brazil, Argentina and Paraguay suffered droughts in the same calendar year.
South American soybean production in 2012 was reduced by 20.4 mmt or 15.1% versus 2011.
U.S. soybean production was reduced by 2.14 mmt or 2.5% versus 2011. Late rains boosted production.
In total soybean production in North and South America in 2012 was at least 21.9 mmt less than in 2011.
Water levels on Mississippi River are very low and interfering with barge shipments to Gulf.
2012 Has Been A Very Unique Year
Argentina’s corn crop in 2012 was reduced by 4.2 mmt (16.8%) versus 2011.
Fortunately, because of a large winter crop of corn in Brazil total South American corn production in 2012 was 11.875 mmt (12.7%) greater than in 2011.
U.S. corn production in 2012 was 40.1 mmt (12.7%) less than in 2011.
There were more quality problems (aflatoxin) with U.S. corn from 2012 crop because of heat and drought.
It remains exceptionally dry in the Midwest and Great Plains.

Early Outlook for U.S. Corn and Soybean Plantings in 2013
Because corn appears to have been impacted more by 2012 drought than soybeans it is likely economics will favor corn plantings over soybeans in 2013.
However, a major limiting factor to corn plantings in 2013 will be an inadequate planting seed supply as the drought sharply reduced output of seed corn in 2012.
Many farmers also saw much lower yields from corn planted after corn in 2012 and may choose to reduce corn plantings in favor of soybeans to improve rotations.
General expectation of analysts is for both corn and soybean plantings to increase by about 2 million acres in 2013 as a result of lower cotton plantings and increased double-crop soybean plantings.
Much will depend on crop insurance price guarantees to be set in February.
