U.S. domestic corn exports are lowered 75 million bushels due to slow sales. As a result, corn ending stocks are raised 75 million bushels. The season-average corn price received by producers is lowered 10 cents to $6.70 per bushel based on observed prices to date. Foreign corn production is reduced with forecast declines for Ukraine, Russia, the EU, and Vietnam. Ukraine corn production is sharply lower with reductions to both area and yield as the ongoing conflict. Russia corn production is lowered as harvest delays in the country reduce area expectations. (Note: USDA increased Australian barley production due to the most recent crop report from ABARES. Argentina barley production is cut on continued dr...

From WPI Consulting
Illuminating the value of technical research
On behalf of a commodity producer organization, WPI evaluated the outputs from a project that featured a $5 million investment into technical research over multiple years. WPI’s team captured the results of this extensive effort and synthesized them for presentation to the organization’s governing board; among the findings uncovered and presented for the first time was the development of genomic traits proven, via rigorous testing, to provide crop yield advantages of 50 percent or more to U.S. farmers in times of drought. Capturing measurable results from long-term efforts can be challenging. Educating clients on the dynamics of success measurement when quantifiable results are not readily available requires deep client-consultant collaboration and an ability to consider both near- and long-term client aspirations with market/policy dynamics – attributes that WPI brings to every consulting engagement.
