FEED OUTLOOK FDS-0295 United States Department of Agriculture Economic Research Service ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Approved by the World Agricultural Outlook Board February 13, 1995 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- HIGHLIGHTS o Estimate of Grain Consuming Animal Units Raised o Corn Export Forecast Unchanged Despite Cancellation by China o Barley Export Forecast Raised 10 Million Bushels There were no changes in the U.S. supply and demand forecasts for corn, sorghum, and oats this month, and only a small adjustment in barley. New estimates of livestock inventories as of January 1 were released. With no new survey-based U.S. grain statistics released, the focus this month is largely on developments in the Southern Hemisphere and in international markets. CORN PRICES HOLDING STEADY Price expectations for feed grains were largely unchanged this month. However, the ranges around each grain were narrowed. The season average farm price for corn is forecast at $2.10 to $2.30 per bushel. In recent weeks, both cash and futures prices for corn have been fairly steady. Central Illinois cash prices for corn averaged $2.22 per bushel in the last half of January, with a slight uptick so far in February to $2.26. Nearby corn futures prices on the Chicago Board of Trade (March contract) averaged $2.33 per bushel from January 16 through February 10, and traded in a narrow range during this period. INCREASES IN GRAIN CONSUMING ANIMAL UNITS SUPPORT FEED USE Feed and residual use of the four feed grains plus wheat during September-November 1994 totaled a record 56.9 million metric tons, up from 48.9 million in 1993. This estimate was slightly higher than last month due to inclusion of final November trade data in disappearance estimates. This quarter's use was well above the previous record 51.7 million established in 1992/93. Use for September 1994 to August 1995 is expected to total a record 165.9 million tons, up 11 percent from last year. In September-November 1994, feed and residual use is estimated at 34 percent of the yearly total, up from 33 percent in the first quarter of the last 3 marketing years. Feed use per grain consuming animal unit (GCAU) is expected to reach 1.95 tons, up from 1.77 last year but well below the record 2.08 tons in 1986/87. GCAU's in 1994/95 are expected to increase 1 percent from 1993/94. The index of animal units is up this year due to increases in the number of hogs, beef cattle not on feed, and the poultry sector. Cattle on feed on January 1, 1995 in all States, were down 4 percent from a year earlier. However, steers and heifers over 500 pounds, not kept for breeding, and not in feedlots, were up 7 percent from January 1, 1994. The 1994 calf crop was estimated at 40.7 million head, up 3 percent from 1993. While good grazing conditions this winter to date have allowed calves to remain on pasture, the numbers on feed are expected to increase through spring, and continue to grow as the larger calf crop is placed on feed. The demand for feed by the dairy sector is expected to continue to increase even though cow numbers on January 1, 1995 were virtually unchanged from last year. Milk per cow in 1994 was up 3 percent from 1993 and thus the need for feed increased. On January 1, 1995, grain and other concentrates fed per cow were 18.9 pounds, up from 18.5 in 1994. The poultry sector, and especially the broiler industry, continues to expand. Several companies have announced plans for expansion in new (to them) geographic areas. Even without the new plants, weekly broiler eggs set and chicks hatched were up 4-7 percent from a year earlier in January. Thus feed needs are expected to continue to grow in 1995. Feed needs by the sheep industry continue to decline. All sheep and lambs on January 1 were down 9 percent from 1994's 9,742 thousand head and another new record low. The 1994 lamb crop totaled 5.9 million, down 7 percent, also a record low. CORN EXPORT PROSPECTS STRONG DESPITE CHINA CANCELLATION AND LOW RUSSIAN DEMAND Projected U.S. corn exports in 1994/95 remain at 1,950 million bushels (49.5 million tons) despite China's recent cancellation of 630,000 tons of U.S. corn. Forecast imports by China are down 500,000 tons to 2.5 million. In addition, projected corn imports by Russia are down 1.5 million tons because the Russian government has not elected to finance grain purchases, either through cash payments or international financial assistance. Offsetting factors supporting U.S. export prospects include a 1-million-ton reduction in the corn export projection for China to 3 million tons, and reduced prospective corn exports by South Africa and the European Union (EU). U.S. corn export commitments (exports plus outstanding sales) as of February 2 stood at nearly 34 million tons, 52 percent above last year's levels and only 11 percent below 1989/90, when exports totalled 60.1 million tons. Strong demand is evident in many Latin American markets as well as in Asia, with countries like Indonesia and Malaysia, which typically take corn from China, purchasing U.S. corn this year. U.S. export commitments to Korea already exceed 4 million tons, 40-fold over a year earlier. Russia's projected corn imports in 1994/95 of 500,000 tons are probably the lowest since 1970. (Trade data for Russia prior to 1986, separate from the USSR, are not available.) A sustained and continual decline in livestock inventories, combined with production shortfalls and the lack of financing for imports, is expected to drop corn consumption to 1.9 million tons. This is down by nearly half from last year and sharply below the 1989 high of 18.5 million tons. However, supplies of barley are large, which will allow some substitution in feed rations and allow Russia to export barley to third country destinations. OUTLOOK FOR SOUTHERN HEMISPHERE IS MIXED Poor rains and near-drought conditions in South Africa are projected to lower the corn crop by 1 million tons to 7 million. However, exports have been strong from the large 1994 crop. Forecast (October-September) exports for South Africa are down only 500,000 tons to 2.7 million. In Australia, forecast production of the drought-stricken sorghum crop was again dropped this month as plantings were adversely affected by dryness. In Argentina, on the other hand, crop development is reported as generally good in the major corn growing areas with production estimates unchanged at 10.5 million tons and exports forecast at 4.7 million tons. Forecast sorghum imports by Australia were raised 200,000 tons this month to 500,000, and are likely to be sourced from the United States. No corn imports are presently expected for South Africa, and it only recently halted its weekly corn export tenders. However, if dry conditions persist in South Africa and other southern Africa countries, crop prospects could deteriorate further, and result in substantial imports. MEXICO'S DEVALUATION CREATES UNCERTAINTY ABOUT IMPORTS The recent devaluation heightens uncertainty about Mexican feed demand and imports in 1994/95. Mexico's forecast sorghum imports were reduced 300,000 tons to 2.1 million in response to an anticipated reduction in feed demand by the Mexican pork and poultry industries. This places current forecast imports down 34 percent from 1993/94. The forecast of total U.S. sorghum exports, however, is unchanged at 220 million bushels (5.6 million tons) because of larger potential exports to Australia and other countries. U.S. BARLEY EXPORTS STRENGTHEN WHILE IMPORTS OF OATS CONTINUE LARGE The forecast of barley exports (June-May) was raised 10 million bushels to 70 million, based on the pace of sales to date and stronger demand for U.S. barley. U.S. export sales, as of February 2, were 37 percent higher than a year ago. Export sales to both Israel and Algeria continue to run above last year's level. China has used its total EEP allocation of 75,000 tons for the purchase of malting barley with 32,000 tons shipped so far. Meanwhile, an abundance of export tenders for EU barley led to an upward revision of projected EU (October-September) exports, from 6 to 6.5 million tons. U.S. oats imports through November totalled 54 million bushels with a weak Canadian dollar contributing to strong Canadian sales. Finland and Sweden's accession to the EU in January 1995 raised uncertainties about the status of subsidized oat exports to the U.S. A recent announcement, however, by the EU sets a new export restitution tender for up to 200,000 tons of oats from only Finland or Sweden. TRANSPORTATION DEMAND CONTINUES STRONG The large increase in projected use of grain and soybeans from 1993/94 has significantly boosted demand for all transportation. Shipments to ports for export have increased demand for barge service and are a major factor in the increased demand for rail service. Although the upper Mississippi river was closed by ice in December and January, December barge shipments of grain on the Illinois and Mississippi rivers totaled 3.1 million short tons, 7 percent above December 1994. Shipments on the Ohio river averaged 190 short tons per week, up 66 percent from the prior year. Rail shipments averaged 27,900 cars per week in December, 10 percent above December 1994, but 5 percent less than November. January rail volume rose to 28,299 cars per week, 1 percent above the 10-year average and 7 percent above January 1994. During September 1994-January 1995, 25 percent of all rail grain shipments have been for export. While rail volume averaged 4 percent above 1993/94 through January, it was 4 percent below 1992/93. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has announced that the Illinois river will be closed to navigation--July 11 to September 9--from Lockport to Marseilles, Illinois for rehabilitation and repair of the 60-year-old locks. Over the past three years, grain traffic on the Illinois river has accounted for 37 percent of total grain shipped on the Illinois and Mississippi rivers. This closure could substantially increase transportation costs to grain storage and processing facilities which normally use the river and is likely to cause changes in marketing patterns during the period. The Bureau of Labor Statistics' rail rate index for grain (December 1984=100) shows less than a 2-percent increase during September-December 1994. The Bureau of Labor Statistics' barge rate index for grain (December 1984=100) peaked in October at 185.5, a 4-year high. While rates slipped since, and were 154.4 in December, they averaged 50 percent above the prior year in September-December 1994. 1995 PROGRAM ANNOUNCEMENTS In late January, USDA announced projected deficiency payment rates for 1995 feed grains. These are 40 cents per bushel for corn, 39 cents for sorghum, 40 cents for barley, and 10 cents for oats. Loan rates for 1995/96 have not yet been announced. On February 9, USDA announced that producers would not be permitted to plant soybeans and other oilseeds on up to half of their setaside acres in 1995. Other final 1995 farm program common provisions announced also include: producers may receive 50 percent of their estimated deficiency payment in advance; prohibition of the same crops being planted on flex acres as were prohibited in 1994 except those planted for biomass; and planting of experimental and industrial crops on Acreage Conservation Reserve and on conserving use acres will be permitted. ****************************************************************************** * Information Contacts: * * * * Pete Riley (202) 501-8512 T.Q.
