Low prices could stick around for the next few years. Researchers at the University of Missouri say large global stocks are helping suppress prices across the board.
“Yeah, we’ve had a lot of supplies globally right now. And unless there’s something, a big change of the demand side of the picture, ordinary weather conditions around the world the next several years would lead to continue large supplies. Obviously, we’re going to have some weather shocks the like in the near term, so we don’t know which year will be a good year, which will be might be a bad year. On average, we think current prices are more or less reflective of the current market situation,” said Dr. Pat Westhoff.
Westhoff says considering the current situation, there is not real need for farmers to consider acreage shifts for next year.
