Floor Talk, November 2, 2018
After the close:
The USDA released a sneek-peek of its Baseline numbers. Here are the acreage estimates:
USDA forecast for U.S. planted acres in 2019/20: #Corn at 92 million acres (89.1 mln this year) #Soybeans at 82.5 million acres (89.1 mln this year) #Wheat at 51 million acres (47.8 mln this year)
What say you? Will we really lose 6.0 million soybean acres?

Re: Floor Talk, November 2, 2018
The conventional thought on the subject is that if a new pipeline for beans to China through South America or Australia doesn't materialize soon, there will be pressure on bean farmers to switch to a different crop next year as they either will have huge unsold supplies of beans from this season or they will not want to repeat the losses they took this season when the Chinese demand was blocked by tariff issues.
My guess is that this all plays into the long term bear market in corn, and that there will be an increase in corn acreage that used to grow beans, thus adding additional downward pressure to corn prices.
