FEED OUTLOOK February 12, 1996 Approved by the World Agricultural Outlook Board ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- FEED OUTLOOK is published monthly by the Economic Research Service, U.S. Department of Agriculture, Washington, DC 20005-4788. FDS--0296. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- HIGHLIGHTS o Corn Export Forecast Raised Another 50 Million Bushels o Bad Weather Slows Transportation USDA made few changes in feed grain supply and use forecasts this month. Supply estimates are relatively firm, with final 1995 crop figures released in January and only small changes likely in imports in the next few months. Thus the market will focus on the demand side in upcoming weeks, along with increasing attention to prospects for 1996 crops. Because of higher exports, projected ending stocks of corn in 1995/96 are down 50 million bushels from last month to 457 million. There were also some minor adjustments in quarterly disappearance estimates for September-November with the inclusion of final trade data for October and November. The forecast of oats imports for the 1995/96 year was reduced 10 million bushels to 95 million because of the slow pace to date and tight Canadian supplies. CORN EXPORTS PROJECTED AT 2.2 BILLION BUSHELS Forecast U.S. corn exports in 1995/96 were raised 50 million bushels to 2.2 billion, slightly greater then last year's 2.177 billion. The increase reflects very strong export sales in January along with projected changes in foreign corn trade. As of February 1, total commitments of U.S. sales had reached 44.8 million tons, equal to 80 percent of the forecast for the year. When market prices dipped in mid-January, buyers bought heavily, led by Japan, South Korea, Spain, and Mexico. Net export sales of nearly 1.9 million tons for the week ending January 18 were the highest of the marketing year. Forecast imports by Thailand and the Philippines were increased this month, while a further drop in Argentina's crop prospects led to a slight reduction in its corn exports to 5.8 million tons, slightly below 1994/95. Despite an increase in area, poor growing conditions early in the season are expected to keep Argentina's corn crop about the same size as the year before. In South Africa, the Southern Hemisphere's other major corn exporter, the growing season has been very good so far. South Africa has been buying small amounts of U.S. white corn in recent months to address food needs before its new crop is harvested. CORN PRICES SOFTEN BUT REMAIN HIGH Except for barley, farm price forecasts were not altered this month. The all barley season average price was raised 10 cents at the bottom end of the range to $2.85-2.95 per bushel. The preliminary farm price in January was $3.23, with malting barley at $3.42 and feed barley at $3.02. This is the first time feed barley has topped $3.00 per bushel since 1980. After peaking in early January at over $3.70, futures prices for corn (March contract) slumped in mid-month, closing as low as $3.51. Since then, they have fluctuated in a range of $3.55-3.69. Cash prices at Central Illinois points also slipped in mid-January but averaged $3.53 for the month, the highest since August 1983. The preliminary farm price in January rose to $3.21 per bushel, up from $3.07 in December. The preliminary farm price of sorghum reached a record high $3.29 per bushel in January, up from $3.16 in December. Sorghum prices have exceeded corn in 7 of the last 8 months. Farm prices for oats also rose, hitting a preliminary $1.93 in January, compared with $1.91 the month before. UPDATE ON FEED AND RESIDUAL USE There were no changes in forecast feed and residual use of corn or the other feed grains this month. However, there was a slight increase in wheat for the summer quarter (June-August). Feed and residual use of the four feed grains (corn, sorghum, barley and oats) plus wheat on a September-August year is expected to total 138 million metric tons, down 16 percent from 1994/95. In 1995/96, feed and residual use of barley and oats is likely to be down from 1994/95, even though the earlier harvest of the two grains provides an incentive to move them into feeding before the corn harvest. In 1993/94, wheat feeding increased to help offset a small portion of the decline, but in 1995/96, strong prices for wheat are expected to keep wheat feed and residual use below the year earlier. Animal numbers have not adjusted to the declines in expected feed availability and in general feeders are still maintaining profits. The index of grain consuming animal units (GCAU's) in 1995/96 is expected to be 2 percent higher than the 84.6 million units in 1994/95. Most of the animal inventories used to calculate GCAU's showed larger numbers this month. However, dairy cattle were down 1 percent and sheep numbers were down 5 percent. Revisions in the cattle inventory for 1995, resulted in a slight increase in feed per GCAU in 1994/95. In 1995/96, feed per GCAU is currently estimated at 1.6 tons, down 18 percent from 1994/95, and equaling the low of 1988/89. TRANSPORTATION: WEATHER SLOWS ALL MODES Bad weather has hindered all surface transportation since December. Dust storms and blizzards, floods, heavy snowfall, and ice slowed or halted movement by truck, rail, and barge. Most recently, bitter cold, which freezes switches, turns diesel fuel to jelly, makes tough steel brittle, and limits the time deckhands and switchyard workers can work outside, has caused short trains and lengthened travel times. RAIL VOLUME DOWN SLIGHTLY, RATES UP Railcar loadings of grain and soybeans averaged 27,711 cars per week in January, 3 percent below January 1995 and the 10-year average for the month. Inclement weather hampered rail movement in both December and January, holding the 2-month average to 27,493 cars per week. In contrast, grain shipments averaged 30,073 cars per week during September-November 1995. Railcar loadings over the first 5 months of 1995/96 averaged 3 percent above the 10-year average for the period. Despite weather-caused operating problems, January rail deliveries of grain to export points rose 35 percent from the prior month to 10,339 cars per week, 37 percent of all railed grain. Most of the increase took place at Pacific Coast ports, where unloads increased 50 percent to 6,836 cars per week. Some of this increase probably resulted from attempts to build grain stocks at Pacific Coast sites in anticipation of closure of the Columbia River to navigation. The Bonneville, the Dales, and John Day locks will be closed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers from February 12 to 26, 1996. Rail deliveries of grain are expected to remain strong throughout February. The Bureau of Labor Statistics' rail freight rate index for grain shows December 1995 at 118.2 (December 1984=100), up slightly from the prior month and 2 percent above September 1995. Rail rates trended up during September-December 1995, averaging 117.3, nearly 1 percent above a year earlier. Although the Interstate Commerce Commission (ICC) was abolished December 31, 1995, many of its functions are retained in the Surface Transportation Board (STB), created on January 1, 1996. Contract rates for agricultural products continue to be somewhat restricted. As a result, rail rates are not expected to show larger short term fluctuations than in the past. MISSISSIPPI RIVER GRAIN TRAFFIC DOWN SHARPLY IN JANUARY Preliminary data show shipments of grain and soybeans through Lock and Dam 27, near St. Louis, down sharply, 42 percent, from December 1995. Bad weather and scheduled closure of the main (1,200 foot) lock are the immediate causes of the decline, but seasonal lows in January and February were expected. On February 7, 1996, the U.S. Coast Guard (USCG) closed the Mississippi River to navigation from Cairo, IL, to just south of St. Louis. This halted barge shipments on both the Mississippi and Illinois Rivers. On February 9, traffic resumed with certain restrictions on tow size and horsepower required for tow boats. Closure of the Mississippi River north of St. Louis does not completely stop shipments on the river. Elevators downstream from St. Louis can load more than 440,000 short tons of grain into barges each week, about 77 percent of the January 1996 volume at Lock and Dam 27. The Ohio River also empties into the Mississippi downstream from St. Louis and, in January, averaged 214,000 short tons of grain per week. BARGE RATES UP SLIGHTLY The Bureau of Labor Statistics' barge freight rate index for grain shows 179.1 (December 1990=100) for December, up 3 percent from November. This represents a 5-year record for the month, but is well below September's 222.7. ****************************************************************************** * Information Contacts: * * * * Pete Riley (202) 501-8512 T.Q.
