U.S. Farmers Intend to Plant More

Oilseeds Than Ever This Year

Last month, USDA’s Prospective Plantings report indicated that farmers intended to

sow 78.1 million acres of soybeans in 2010. If realized, this would be a 1-percent

increase over last year’s record of 77.5 million acres. Gains in soybean acreage are

anticipated principally in the western Corn Belt and Northern Plains. Due to

difficulties in completing last fall’s crop harvests and getting winter wheat sown on

time, those areas had more unused cropland available for spring crops.

Opportunities to double-crop soybeans after winter wheat this year will be fewer,

but in the Midwest that may be offset by additional cropland for first-crop soybeans.

In some locations, field preparations have been hampered by persistent wetness of

the soil, which could delay corn planting this spring. Although the current ratio

between soybean and corn prices favors soybeans, corn will also gain acres this year

with its sharply reduced production costs. In contrast, soybean acreage in the Delta

and Southeast regions could decline in 2010 because of expected area increases for

cotton, rice, and peanuts

Producers intend to plant more area in 2010 to canola, cotton, flax, peanuts, and

sunflowerseed than they did last year. In the Northern Plains, 2010 planting

intentions for barley are down as prices for feed barley have fallen under the

pressure of a bumper 2009 harvest. Planting intentions for barley in North Dakota

are the lowest on record. For North Dakota alone, the prospective decline in barley

and wheat acreage would free up 370,000 acres for other crops compared

to last year.

Intended canola plantings in 2010 are up 49 percent from last year to 1.228 million

acres. Though below the record acres planted 8-10 years ago, attractive cash bids

this spring are likely responsible for the sharp increase. Canola acreage is expected

to increase the most in North Dakota. Canola acreage is also expanding in

Oklahoma, where it was virtually nonexistent a few years ago but this year is seen

increasing to 80,000 acres. Producers in this State are planting winter varieties of

canola as a way to diversify crop rotations and rely less exclusively on winter

wheat. Last fall, canola prices were at a sizable premium to winter wheat. Winter

canola varieties can attain yields that are 20-30 percent higher than the

spring-sown varieties.

Sunflowerseed planting is expected to increase 7 percent in 2010 to 2.181 million

acres--virtually all due to an increase in non-oil type (confectionery) area. Plantings

of non-oil type sunflowers may increase by 41 percent this year to 467,000 acres

Sunflowerseed growers will favor sowing more of the non-oil varieties this year

because of a larger-than-usual price premium relative to the oil-type varieties.

Farmers need a premium to compensate for a generally lower yield and higher input

costs for the confection type. Between 2008/09 and 2009/10, the price premium for

non-oil type versus oil-type sunflowerseed averaged more than $10 per

hundredweight compared to $3.86 for the 5 years before that. In contrast, USDA’s

plantings report indicates that oil-type sunflowerseed acreage may increase only 0.9

percent from last year to 1.714 million acres. Oil-type sunflowerseed prices are

being restrained by an outlook for ample carryout stocks from the 2009 harvest.

U.S. flaxseed acreage may increase for the first time since 2005. Despite a recent

uptick in flaxseed imports from Canada, domestic prices have held steady. Planting

intentions for flax in 2010 are at 410,000 acres, a 32-percent increase from last year

but well below levels seen 4 years ago. Producers in North Dakota will account for

nearly all of the increase in flax acreage.

With peanut stocks expected to decline against last year’s burdensome carryover, in

2010 growers intend to plant 8 percent more peanut acres. U.S. planted area may

rise to 1.201 million acres, compared to 1.116 million acres in 2009. The recent

record high yields in peanuts have helped to offset the decline in peanut acreage,

which would be the second-lowest since 1915. Acreage increases are expected for

all peanut-producing States, excepting Texas (down 10,000 acres to 155,000) and

Oklahoma (from 14,000 to 13,000 acres). Cotton appears to be a more attractive

alternative in the Southwest, although reductions in peanut acreage there may be

more than offset by expected gains in the Southeast and Virginia-Carolina regions.

Georgia leads the other States with an expected gain of 30,000 acres (to 540,000

acres), but Virginia may have the largest percentage increase, rising from 12,000

acres in 2009 to 20,000 acres this year.

Over the past year, cotton prices have strengthened considerably with a sharp

reduction in stocks. Thus, U.S. cotton plantings this year are expected to increase

15 percent to 10.5 million acres and help reverse a long-term decline in cottonseed

production. Provided that yields rebound as well, 2010 cottonseed output could

improve significantly from the 4.2 million short tons produced in 2009—a 33-year

low. The largest production gains are likely to occur in Texas (the largest cottonproducing

State), where 44 percent of the country’s acreage expansion is intended.

Cotton planting is just now getting underway.

Soybean Stocks Drawn Down Rapidly by Strong Demand, But

Slowing Use Is Ahead

As of April 1, soybeans exports in 2009/10 had already exceeded the total for all of

last year--which was the previous record. Outstanding export sales of soybeans

have dropped sharply and the current pace of new sales has slowed. Shipments

over the season’s last 5 months may be quite modest and limited to countries where

the U.S. has an advantage in transportation costs. But based on the extraordinary

pace of shipments to date, the 2009/10 export forecast was raised this month by 25

million bushels to 1.445 billion. Export competition from Brazil is starting to

accelerate, but recent shipments from Argentina have been negligible.

For the fourth consecutive month, domestic soybean crushing broke a previous

monthly record. The February crush totaled 153.8 million bushels and pushed the

crush for the first half of 2009/10 up to a record high 939.6 million bushels.

However, slowing demand in the second half is expected to hold the season total

well short of its peak for a full season (1.808 billion in 2006/07). The forecast

2009/10 crush was unchanged this month at 1.73 billion bushels.

Total use of soybeans in the second quarter of 2009/10 was only slightly less than

the first quarter’s record high. The culmination of this robust demand is a sharp

reduction in the quarterly stocks. As of March 1, U.S. soybean stocks totaled 1.27

billion bushels, almost halved from the 2.34 billion in inventory on December 1.

Oil Crops Outlook/OCS-10d/April 12, 2010

Despite a record 2009 harvest, soybean stocks for the second quarter were the

lowest in 5 years and down slightly from 1.302 billion last year. Even so, given the

supply and the reported data through February on domestic crush and exports, the

March 1 stocks were higher than anticipated. This implied that the estimate of the

residual was likely too high, so USDA revised it down by 26 million bushels. Seed

use of soybeans is also raised (to 91 million bushels) to account for the expected

record plantings this spring. The higher export forecast was offset by the residual

adjustment, and the forecast of 2009/10 ending stocks is unchanged at

190 million bushels.

It appears that U.S. soybean prices may have peaked for the season at the end of

2009. The March preliminary farm price for soybeans dropped to $9.16 per bushel,

compared to the February average of $9.41 per bushel. In mid-March, a strike over

wages by Argentine workers at ports and processing plants threatened to interrupt

new-crop export shipments from the country, but its settlement by early April ended

a brief price rally. By early April, soybean prices lost more support following the

U.S. reports on planting intentions and stocks. The range for the forecast of the

2009/10 average price was narrowed to $9.20-$9.70 per bushel from $8.95-$9.95

last month.

Exports of U.S. soybean meal are still being shipped at an unprecedented rate, with

shipments to Southeast Asia particularly strong. USDA’s Export Sales report

indicates that soybean meal shipments through April 1 totaled 6.4 million metric

tons—up 68 percent from a year earlier. That export trade will play a key role in

supporting the price level of soybean meal in the coming weeks. Weak domestic

use has already pressured prices quite a bit since last fall, when they ranged as high

as $330 per short ton. By March, the monthly average price for soybean meal was

down to $278 per ton. USDA narrowed its forecast price range for 2009/10 to

$285-$305, compared with $280-$310 last month.

Record Highs for Both Area and Yields Swell

Brazil’s Soybean Output

Higher estimates of soybean production in South America are likely to continue

adding to this year’s accumulation of stocks. Despite some recovery in soybean

use, global stocks for 2009/10 are forecast rising to a record 63 million metric tons.

By comparison, last month’s forecast of stocks was 60.7 million and totaled only

42.8 million tons for 2008/09.

In Brazil, the soybean yield was estimated at a record high this month, raising

USDA’s crop forecast by 500,000 tons to 67.5 million. A drier weather pattern in

March aided Brazil’s soybean harvest, with nearly three-fourths completed by April

1. Most of the country’s remaining soybeans to be harvested are in the southern

State of Rio Grande do Sul, where soil moisture conditions are still mostly

favorable to complete crop development.

Domestic crushing of soybeans in Brazil will be pressured by a sharp turnaround in

crop production and processing in Argentina. Brazil’s 2009/10 soybean crush was

forecast down 500,000 tons this month to 31.5 million (compared to 32.5 million in

2008/09). The reduction is associated with the exports of soybean meal from

Brazil, which are expected at an 8-year low of 12 million tons. Similarly, Brazilian

soybean oil exports are forecast at a 12-year low of 1.375 million tons. The large

crop, however, will support soybean exports in 2009/10, which were forecast up

700,000 tons this month to 26.3 million.

Argentine Soybean Crop Surges With Record Area

and Abundant Moisture

Unlike a year ago, the Argentine soybean crop has not been stressed by a lack of

rainfall. Yields look excellent throughout the country’s main production region.

USDA raised its soybean crop estimate for Argentina this month by 1 million tons

to 54 million. About 27 percent of the crop was harvested as of last week.

The abundant supply will provide additional support for Argentine processors, who

are forecast to raise the soybean crush by 16 percent this year to 36.4 million tons.

Exports of soybean meal and soybean oil should rebound strongly, although

demand for soybean oil in biodiesel production is also likely to expand.

Brisk Use of Soybeans in China Leads to Surpluses of Soybean

Meal and Soybean Oil

Soybean imports by China in 2009/10 were forecast 1 million tons higher this

month to 43.5 million. To appreciate how important China is to world trade in

soybeans, the United States—the world’s top exporter—is seen exporting 39.3

million tons. Of course, U.S. soybeans are shipped all across the world, but China

alone represents 60 percent of the U.S. export market. China is the top destination

for soybeans from Brazil and Argentina, too. A record 46 million tons of soybeans

are expected to be crushed in China for 2009/10.

Growth in processing imported soybeans has turned China into the world’s secondlargest

producer of soybean oil--trailing only the United States by a modest sum.

This year, continued growth in China’s domestic output of soybean oil is expected

to diminish its import requirements. Soybean oil imports by China are seen

declining in 2009/10 to 2.3 million tons compared to 2.5 million in 2008/09. Large

existing stocks of vegetable oil have pressured oilseed crush margins. But, sales

prices for government reserves of vegetable oil have been set well above the cost of

imports, which has prevented a faster decline in this season’s import demand.

There soon could be a new constraint on soybean oil trade. Chinese officials have

recently warned importers of soybean oil—all of whom must obtain licenses from

the central Government—to avoid shipments from Argentina. Starting April 1, the

country’s quarantine agency is tightening the maximum level of solvent residue that

is permitted in soybean oil to 100 parts per million (ppm) from 200-300 ppm

previously. Based on last year’s data, most of the soybean oil imports from

Argentina (the source for about three-fourths of China’s imports) would not meet

the new standard. Depending on how long the limits remain in place, they may help

to temporarily reduce China’s stocks of soybeans and soybean oil. A longer term

disruption in Argentine imports, however, would likely encourage an expansion of

palm oil imports and soybean oil imports from other countries.

Soybean Oil Imports Become More Attractive for India

In India, domestic harvests of rapeseed, sunflowerseed, and peanuts this year are

smaller than previously expected. Based on lower yields and a reduction in

rapeseed harvested area to 6.45 million hectares, the 2009/10 production estimate

was lowered to 6.4 million tons from 6.6 million last month. And, due to cropland

7

Oil Crops Outlook/OCS-10d/April 12, 2010

Economic Research Service, USDA

switching with winter grains and pulses, a reduction in sunflowerseed area lowered

its crop estimate from 1 million to 820,000 tons. The peanut crop was reduced from

5 million to 4.9 million tons due to a below-average yield.

Likely reductions in the vegetable oil produced from these crops will further

enhance the demand for imports this year. And any imports of soybean oil that are

diverted from China could end up in India. The cost of soybean oil in India is now

approaching parity with palm oil. Indian imports of soybean oil for 2009/10 are

forecast 200,000 tons higher this month to 1.4 million. India’s total imports of

vegetable oil in 2009/10 (at 9.5 million tons) could begin to rival world leader

China’s imports (9.9 million tons).

A shortfall in soybean crushing has cut India’s soybean meal exports by 62 percent

from a year earlier. As a result, the 2009/10 export forecast was trimmed again to

2.2 million tons, compared with 3.2 million in 2008/09.

Corn Planted Acreage Up 3 Percent from 2009

Soybean Acreage Up Less Than 1 Percent

All Wheat Acreage Down 9 Percent

All Cotton Acreage Up 15 Percent

 

Corn growers intend to plant 88.8 million acres of corn for all purposes in

2010, up 3 percent from both last year and 2008. Expected acreage is up in

many States due to reduced winter wheat acreage and expectations of improved

net returns. Acreage increases of 300,000 or more are expected in Illinois,

Kansas, Missouri, and Ohio. The largest decreases are expected in Iowa, down

200,000 acres, and Texas, down 150,000 acres.

 

Soybean producers intend to plant 78.1 million acres in 2010, up less than

1 percent from last year. If realized, the United States planted area will be

the largest on record. Acreage increases of 100,000 or more are expected in

Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Nebraska, North Dakota, and South Dakota. The largest

decreases are expected in Georgia and North Carolina, both 150,000 acres less

than 2009. If intentions are realized, the planted acreage in Kansas, North

Dakota, and Pennsylvania will be the largest on record.

 

All wheat planted area is estimated at 53.8 million acres, down 9 percent

from 2009. The 2010 winter wheat planted area, at 37.7 million acres, is

13 percent below last year but up 2 percent from the previous estimate. Of

this total, about 28.3 million acres are Hard Red Winter, 6.0 million acres

are Soft Red Winter, and 3.4 million acres are White Winter. Area planted to

other spring wheat for 2010 is estimated at 13.9 million acres, up 5 percent

from 2009. Of this total, about 13.3 million acres are Hard Red Spring wheat.

Durum planted area for 2010 is estimated at 2.22 million acres, down

13 percent from the previous year.

 

All cotton plantings for 2010 are expected to total 10.5 million acres, 15

percent above last year. Upland acreage is expected to total 10.3 million

acres, up 15 percent. Growers intend to increase planted area in all States

except Arkansas, Kansas, and Louisiana. The largest acreage increase is in

Texas where producers intend to plant 600,000 acres more acres of upland

cotton than in 2009. American-Pima cotton growers intend to increase their

plantings by 34 percent from 2009 to 190,000 acres. California producers

intend to plant 165,000 acres, up 39 percent from last year.
