Corn production is expected to total more than 9.5 billion bushels, 4 percent lower than last year's crop. A 3.5-million-acre decline in planted and harvested area is behind this year-to-year change. Corn use is expected to be record-large boosted by increased ethanol production, exports, and continued strong feed and residual use. Sorghum production is expected to be up from last year, with increased yields and harvested area. Given expanding use, ending sorghum stocks are projected to be up only 12 million bushels from last year's low level. Production of both barley and oats is down significantly from 2000/01. A large drop in harvested area is the primary cause of the year-to-year production decline for both crops. Yields are also down from last year. Production was hampered by weather problems that extended up into Canada. The Canadian barley and oats crops are also down significantly from 2000/01, which has lowered the amount available for export to the United States. As a result of lower U.S. production, barley ending stocks are projected to decline 21 percent to 84 million bushels, and oats ending stocks are projected down 25 percent to nearly 55 million bushels, the lowest on official record. Average farm prices have also risen from last year and are at the highest level since 1997/98 for both crops. The U.S. 2001/02 corn export forecast remained unchanged this month despite a significant reduction in expected production in the main competitor, Argentina. Argentina's corn production was reduced 1.5 million tons this month because ongoing excessive rains and flooding are expected to prevent the planting of as much area as had been intended. Although Argentina's March/February local marketing year export projection dropped 1.7 million tons, the October/September 2001/02 international trade year forecast was reduced only 1.0 million. Revisions for Brazil offset the changes for Argentina. Brazil's corn exports from the record 2000/01 crop remain vigorous, boosting 2001/02 corn export prospects 1.0 million tons. Feed Grain Production Increased from Last Month U.S. feed grain production for 2001/02 is forecast at 263.2 million tons, up 1 percent from last month but down 4 percent from a year earlier. This year-to- year decline is the result of a nearly 4-million-acre reduction in harvested area to 84.2 million acres. Yields were raised slightly to 3.13 tons per acre, fractionally higher than a year earlier. Imports are projected at 2.4 million tons, down 287,000 from last year. Total supply was raised nearly 3 million tons this month to 318.2 million, but 7.5 million below last year. The November National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS) Crop Production report provided new yield data for corn and sorghum. No new NASS data were provided this month for barley or oats. There were no changes made to feed grain use this month. Feed and residual is projected at 158 million tons, down 3 million from 2000/01. Food, seed, and industrial is projected at a record 57.4 million bushels, up 3 percent from a year earlier. Exports are projected at 58.9 million bushels and total use is projected at 274.3 million bushels. Ending stocks for feed grains were raised 3 million tons to 44 million, but are nearly 17 percent lower than a year earlier. Feed and residual for the four feed grains plus wheat is projected at 164.4 million metric tons, unchanged from last month but down 1.7 million tons from 2000/01. The projected index for grain consuming animal units (GCAU) is 89.1 million units, fractionally lower than last year. Feed and residual used per GCAU is projected at 1.84 tons, down 1 percent from 2000/01. In the index components for 2001/02, GCAU's for dairy, beef, and sheep are down, and the GCAU's for pork and poultry are up. 2001/02 Corn Production Raised to 9,546 Million Bushels The 2001/02 corn crop was raised 116 million bushels to 9,546 million, 4 percent lower than a year earlier. This month-to-month change is caused by a 1.7-bushel per-acre increase in yields to 138. This yield level is fractionally higher than last year and the second largest on record. Five of the six largest corn-producing States had yield increases this month (Illinois, Iowa, Minnesota, Nebraska, and Ohio), and Indiana's yield was unchanged. Imports remain projected at 10 million bushels. Total supply is projected at 11,454 million bushels, 2 percent lower than a year earlier. There were no changes made on the use side this month. Total corn use remains projected at 9,880 million bushels, fractionally higher than last year. Due to larger production, ending corn stocks were raised 116 million to 1,574 million, down 17 percent from a year earlier. The stocks-to-use ratio was raised more than 1 full percentage point to 15.9, still below the 19.4 percent from a year earlier. Corn prices were lowered 10 cents on both ends to $1.80-$2.20 per bushel, compared with $1.85 in 2000/01. Sorghum Production Raised Fractionally to 537 Million Bushels The 2001/02 sorghum crop was raised fractionally to 537 million bushels, 14 percent larger than last year's weather-damaged crop. This month-to-month increase was the result of a small increase in yields, which are now projected at 61.2 bushels per acre. Sorghum yields in Kansas and Texas, by far the largest sorghum producing States, were unchanged at 62 and 55 bushels per acre respectively. Yield increases occurred in Colorado, Illinois, Louisiana, Missouri, and New Mexico and yield decreases occurred in Nebraska and Oklahoma. Total sorghum use remains projected at 525 million bushels, up 6 percent from last year. This year-to-year increase is caused by a 20-million-bushel increase in feed and residual to 240 million, and a 10-million-bushel increase in food, seed, and industrial to 45 million. The increase in production raised ending stocks fractionally to 54 million bushels, 12 million larger than last year's low level. Prices were lowered 5 cents on both ends to $1.80-$2.20 per bushel, reflecting the reduced corn price forecast. Prices received by farmers in 2000/01 are estimated at $1.88 per bushel. LDPs DECLINE FROM LAST YEAR The 1996 Farm Act contained key policy tools to assist farmers when market prices are low. The key provisions are "nonrecourse marketing assistance loans" and "loan deficiency payments" (LDPs). Producers that entered into Production Flexibility Contracts with the U.S. Department of Agriculture are eligible to participate in these programs. As of November 9, 2001, eligible corn producers collected nearly $332 million in LDPs covering 1.9 billion bushels or about 20 percent of the crop, compared with 34 percent of the crop this time last year. The average payment rate was 17 cents per bushel on 237,659 contracts, compared with 36 cents per bushel on 437,462 contracts a year earlier. For the entire 2000 crop year, 83 percent received an LDP, and the average payment rate was nearly 29 cents per bushel. For the 2001/02 sorghum crop, producers have collected $2.2 million in LDPs covering 41 million bushels or about 8 percent of the crop compared with 48 percent of the crop this time last year. The average payment rate was about 5 cents per bushel on 9,233 contracts compared with 30 cents per bushel on 60,526 contracts a year earlier. For the entire 2000 crop year, 61 percent of sorghum received an LDP, and the average payment rate was 28 cents per bushel. For barley, producers have received nearly $13 million in LDPs covering 107 million bushels or about 43 percent of production compared with 62 percent of the crop this time last year. The average payment rate was about 12 cents per bushel on 17,668 contracts compared with 28 cents per bushel on 38,300 contracts a year earlier. For the entire 2000 crop year, 77 percent of the barley crop received an LDP and the average payment rate was 27 cents per bushel. Oats producers have collected $1.6 million in LDPs covering more than 11 million bushels or about 10 percent of the crop compared with 71 percent of the crop this time last year. The average payment rate was 14 cents per bushel on 3,378 contracts compared with 30 cents per bushel on 55,822 contracts a year earlier. For the entire 2000 crop year, virtually all of the oats crop received an LDP, and the average payment rate was about 29 cents per bushel. Foreign Coarse Grain Production in 2001/02 Forecast Up this Month Forecast 2001/02 global coarse grain production increased more than 4 million tons this month, but larger U.S. production accounted for 3 million of the increase. The most important change in foreign production this month was the reduction in Argentina's corn production forecast which was lowered 1.5 million tons because ongoing excessive rains and flooding are expected to prevent the planting of as much area as had been intended. Argentina is the United State's largest corn export competitor. Reductions in foreign coarse grain production were more than offset by increases in the former Soviet Union, Eastern Europe, and Australia. Russia's barley production was increased 2.0 million tons to 34.5 million as higher than expected yields were reported. Corn production prospects increased in Ukraine (up 1.2 million tons) and Romania (up 1.4 million) as harvest reports indicated that damage from hot dry conditions this summer was not as severe as previously thought. This month Australia's 2001/02 barley production prospects increased 1.0 million tons to 7.0 million because of revisions to previous year's production published by the Australian Bureau of Statistics. The increased area provides a larger base for 2001/02 prospects. Coarse Grain Trade Changes Mostly Offsetting this Month Most of the coarse grain production changes made this month are not expected to alter trade patterns significantly. Russia is not expected to increase barley exports from the relatively large 1.5 million tons previously forecast, and with reduced animal numbers limiting domestic feed use, Russia's entire 2 million ton barley production increase is reflected in higher forecast ending stocks. In Ukraine and Romania, less damage to corn production will allow for some increase in expected consumption, but mostly replenish stocks, with relatively high prices and large supplies of wheat and coarse grains in surrounding countries limiting export growth. Australia's increased barley production prospects are expected to increase exports in 2001/02 (October/September) by 0.6 million tons to 4.5 million. However, this is offset by reduced export prospects for the European Union(EU). The EU Commission continues to maintain a zero restitution for free market barley, and without subsidies, the relatively high barley prices in the EU are limiting exports. Lower corn production in Argentina will effect trade. However, although Argentina's March/February local marketing year export projection dropped 1.7 million tons, the October/September 2001/02 international trade year forecast was reduced only 1.0 million because shipments of the smaller crop are expected to be somewhat "front-loaded". Brazil's corn exports from the record 2000/01 crop remain vigorous, boosting 2001/02 corn export prospects 1.0 million tons. Several mostly offsetting revisions were made to corn import estimates as the 2000/01 October-September year ended. Some, such as higher corn imports for Egypt and Taiwan and lower corn imports for Venezuela and Ecuador carried through to 2001/02 forecasts. However, some 2000/01 revisions highlight how worsening macroeconomic conditions may limit demand for corn in 2001/02. Japan and South Korea's corn imports for 2000/01 were revised up, but the 2001/02 forecasts were left unchanged. South Korea's corn imports are now projected to drop more than 1.7 million tons to 7.0 million in 2001/02. Only a portion of the reduction in corn imports is expected to be offset by increased imports of wheat for feed use. Total use of grain for feed in both countries is expected to decline because of the soft economy and increased meat imports. Global Coarse Grain Ending Stocks Forecast Increased This Month The larger production boosted projected 2001/02 ending stocks nearly 7 million tons. Foreign coarse grain ending stocks increased nearly 4 million tons to 121 million, with most of the increase in the former Soviet Union and Eastern Europe. Although up significantly from a month ago, foreign coarse grain ending stocks in 2001/02 are expected to drop 14 million tons, or over 10 percent from a year earlier. This makes projected foreign coarse grain ending stocks the lowest since 1985/86. ***************************************************************** Information Contacts: Allen Baker (202) 694-5290 William Chambers (202) 694-5312 International: Edward Allen (202) 694-5288 The next Feed Outlook will be released December 13, 2001 Table 1--Feed Grains: Marketing year supply and disappearance 1/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Year/ Beg.
