How much per bale and what kind of quality?


Verified FBN Member (NE)

It’s not the current price. It’s when it goes back down. Remember inputs go down slower then cash price.

Verified FBN Member (NE)

I hope not. Imagine what that would do to break evens

1

Verified FBN Member (NE)

I imagine everybody would be able to break even.


Verified FBN Member (NE)

All right I think it's time to make new targets what's everybody's opinion?

$10 corn

$30 bean's??


Verified FBN Member (IN)

We’re going need it to be there for 22, with such high input cost!

1


Verified FBN Member (NE)

I think corn could go to $7

Checking in with everybody. how about now?

Corn will stay strong. How high it goes has many variables. US growing season problems is the Catalyst for how high it goes. $8 has been pro...

Verified FBN Member (OK)

How about now?

Verified FBN Member (KS)

My bin is empty...but my E*TRADE account is full of call options.

Verified FBN Member (NE)

I have a bin full of $8 corn and a bin full of $20 beans.


Verified FBN Member (NE)

Yes because I don’t any left to sell

Same, going to hurt hauling that March 3.60 contract


Verified FBN Member (IL)

Bids at the terminal for Jan & Feb 13.50 soybeans and 5.20 corn oct/nov 11.42 and 4.42 respectively


Verified FBN Member (OH)

Sold corn today for February 21 for 5.03

This is a great thread to read now.

what does everybody think Today? 12/30/20

Verified FBN Member (OK)

I know right!!! Talk about history


Verified FBN Member (IA)

5 doesn't seem impossible in years prices rise during harvest

Nope!

Yes it will if we keep printing dollars

With great growing conditions I believe $3.00 futures or lower is very possible. Another dagg...

I'd be happy with $4 corn in SE North Dakota.

1

Verified FBN Member (ND)

with $.35 basis we are now $4.31. $5 corn is feasible but foreign demand and accurate USDA estimates is crucial to meeting this lofty goal.


Verified FBN Member (KS)

.75 cent basis= 5.00

1

Verified FBN Member (MN)

Focus on Chicago prices because basis is local. You could talk to a grower down south with a positive basis that could get 4.50 every year.


Verified FBN Member (MN)

There is no way we see $5 corn anytime in the near future. My technicals say 4.25 is the most you will see by May 1st. Carryouts are too b...

Yes

$5 by 2025. Likely. In 2020, unlikely

If the USDA would tell the truth corn would be 4.50 now.

Until the demand destruction ends, and the conversations about it changes, good luck with anything other than what we have.

Hope it stays over 4.

Verified FBN Member (MO)

I’m now hoping for above $4. I’ve know idea how long I’ll have to wait. Thankful for a nice basis.


Verified FBN Member (IL)

In the mid to high $4.00 area and not until January .


Verified FBN Member (IA)

(edited)

Drove thru I74 corridor IL and IN last week. Was expecting to see much worse conditions than I did. IN behind IL.

1


Verified FBN Member (MO)

I was thinking $6 plus. Now I’d like to see $4.70 again. Good luck

4

Verified FBN Member (NE)

Yes it will hit 5:00 pretty soon now but you will have to deliver 2 bushels to get it

Verified FBN Member (IA)

4.70 is a damn respectable gross revenue per acre


Verified FBN Member (ND)

I can see corn hitting $5-5.50. Basis has to help us out.

1


Verified FBN Member (SD)

If the government told the truth, corn would be over $5 already

3

Verified FBN Member (ID)

I'm not sure if it would, but the cost of inputs and machinery would be far lower.


Verified FBN Member (MO)

No

Verified FBN Member (AL)

I am hoping it'll get to 5 dollars

I think if we hit $5 it won't stop there. In my opinion we are looking at either 4 or 6. Not going to gamble too much in either direction.

Much of Indiana, Ohio and Michigan not planted or planted very late.

Verified FBN Member (SD)

Southeast South Dakota I would throw a rough estimate of 25% planted

Corn looks good here in northern ND actually we could use rain

Verified FBN Member (MS)

yeah there’s a good bit of corn that looks good in Mississippi but we don’t really matter here.

Verified FBN Member (OK)

Thanks, that’s great info for us guys out here not close to the real action in the Midwest, appreciate it.

Verified FBN Member (MS)

I think it'll hit $5. Unless we are all very wrong on crop yield and acres. $6 it would have to be way worse than we think

2


Verified FBN Member (ND)

NE ND basis is -.65 I think 5$ is possible but I agree with above responses, going to take well after harvest to get it there

6

Verified FBN Member (MO)

I sold corn today at a +20 on basis

Verified FBN Member (IA)

Nw Iowa basis is +11


Verified FBN Member (MN)

I think $5 also. Our basis is still -50 cents. Must be a lot of corn still out there.

Verified FBN Member (WI)

I'm in the $5 camp too. Not sure about soybeans. Just seems like the last couple years if your wrong your wrong big

4


Verified FBN Member (NE)

I'm still in the $5 camp. Seems like the market wants to wait until fall before it gets there.

Verified FBN Member (NE)

I'm back in the $5 dollar camp ****!

Verified FBN Member (NE)

I am not waiting for $5 anymore. I am half sold on 2019 corn and will sell the rest at $ 4.00 and 4.25 cash.

Verified FBN Member (IN)

You still waiting for $5 Cale?

Verified FBN Member (NE)

I have given up and dumped the rest of my old crop today.


maybe next year.
