The trend in grain consumed per animal unit has become relatively flat over time, however with the number of grain consuming animal units in the U.S. is declining. Beef cattle account for a little more than a third of the grain consuming animal units in the U.S. and we have moved into the cyclical decline of the beef cattle herd. USDA&#8217;s cattle inventory report estimated a 2% decline in cattle numbers over 2021.

U.S. export demand for corn was up approximately 55% over the previous market year. Short crops in South America created a dearth of corn worldwide, providing support for U.S. corn export needs. However, in the upcoming year the La Nina that is creating short moisture for the High Pains is expected to improve conditions for South American production.<\/p>\n<p>Though in the short term export competition appears to be a pressure point for prices, in the long term continued population growth will serve to increase export demand. Not only is population growing worldwide, as more people move into middle class incomes they demand more protein, which increases the demand for grain, which the U.S. has a relative competitive advantage in producing.<\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Top 4 Export Competitors<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-2016 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/amarillo.tamu.edu\/agecon\/files\/2022\/02\/Picture4.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"3794\" height=\"1546\" srcset=\"https:\/\/agrilife.org\/agecon\/files\/2022\/02\/Picture4.png 3794w, https:\/\/agrilife.org\/agecon\/files\/2022\/02\/Picture4-1024x417.png 1024w, https:\/\/agrilife.org\/agecon\/files\/2022\/02\/Picture4-768x313.png 768w, https:\/\/agrilife.org\/agecon\/files\/2022\/02\/Picture4-1536x626.png 1536w, https:\/\/agrilife.org\/agecon\/files\/2022\/02\/Picture4-2048x835.png 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 3794px) 100vw, 3794px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Accounting for all demand and supply, ending stocks are forecast up 395 million bushels, and as a result days of use on hand is expected to grow to 47 days, above the 40 days usually used as a measure of low corn ending stocks that induce out of normal prices.

Typically, we see a premium for corn in relation to sorghum. However, over the past year sorghum has traded at a premium relative to corn. That trend has extended through the present, and in the input market we are currently facing, sorghum as a low input alternative remains a profitable planting choice.<\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\">U.S. Average Price Received by Farmers, Corn &amp; Sorghum, 1989-2021<\/h4>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2019\" src=\"https:\/\/amarillo.tamu.edu\/agecon\/files\/2022\/02\/Picture10.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"3795\" height=\"1659\" srcset=\"https:\/\/agrilife.org\/agecon\/files\/2022\/02\/Picture10.png 3795w, https:\/\/agrilife.org\/agecon\/files\/2022\/02\/Picture10-1024x448.png 1024w, https:\/\/agrilife.org\/agecon\/files\/2022\/02\/Picture10-768x336.png 768w, https:\/\/agrilife.org\/agecon\/files\/2022\/02\/Picture10-1536x671.png 1536w, https:\/\/agrilife.org\/agecon\/files\/2022\/02\/Picture10-2048x895.png 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 3795px) 100vw, 3795px\" \/> Much of the support for sorghum price is the result of Chinese buying. The projected marketing year total for sorghum exports is 320 million bushels. Cumulative net sales have far outpaced the rate necessary to reach that target, with 75% of sales to Chinese buyers. These large export numbers are supporting prices, however the risk lies in Chinese decision making. If China were to exit the market we could see a significant downside move on the part of sorghum.<\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\">U.S. Grain Sorghum Export Sales Commitments, 21\/22<\/h4>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-2020\" src=\"https:\/\/amarillo.tamu.edu\/agecon\/files\/2022\/02\/Picture11.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"739\" height=\"403\" \/><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Expected ARC-PLC Payments.<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>March 15 is the deadline to signup for ARC or PLC. The choice of &#8216;higher payout&#8217; is difficult this year, largely because it seems like neither program is likely to pay.<\/p>\n<p>The Reference Price for PLC for corn is $3.70\/bu. and the Reference Price for sorghum is $3.95\/bu. With season average farm price forecasts for corn at $4.80\/bu. and for sorghum at $5.45\/bu., it is unlikely that a PLC payment will trigger.<\/p>\n<p>Benchmark revenues are a function of yield as well as price. The five year Olympic average price for corn is set at $3.70\/bu. and the five year Olympic average price for sorghum is set at $3.40\/bu.
