week, the u-s dollar hitting a 13 year high as the market digests what president elect donald trump's fiscal policies could mean for the economy. the u-s dollar taking out the december 2015 high this week. that strength acting as a wet blanket on ag commodities, weighing heavily on prices this week. our partners are profarmer break it down. grete says the strength of the dollar poses the largest risk on the wheat market, and then corn and cotton. dow jones inudstrial hitting a new high this week, after seven straight days of gains. the rally started after trump secured the victory last

consoidation following such a sharp and unexpected rally . federal reserve chair janet yelling saying this week an interest rate hike could come , quote relatively soon. many analysts expecting that rate hike to hit in december, however, some investors now backing away, speculating hte possinility of another delay as the market still adjusts from the trump victory. it's that uncertainty that could push the fed to kick the can down the road another month. u-s farmers could plant the fewest winter wheat acres in usda reporting history. informa economics releasing its latest 2017 acreage forecast this week pegging winter wheat acreage at 33 point 7 million. that's a 2 million acre drop from it's previous forecast and would be the lowest planting since usda started keeping records in 1919. informa pegging 2017 soybean acreage at just over 88 point 6 million acres. that's a record

h me this weekend brian basting of advance trading and jim bower of bower trading. what an eventful week in the stock market, in the u s dollar. we had the dollar hit it hit a thirteen year high jim. the stock market dow jones industrial had a new high. is it just the unknown of what a trump presidency will mean for our fiscal policy or what's driving those markets right now? we're going to see higher interest rates probably higher inflation and higher value of the dollar, all of which could have direct impact on agriculture in a pretty major way. but the market needs time. i made a note that, be careful about putting too much emphasis what happens between election day and inauguration day. because history says there isn't much correlation from that point forward in terms of the election to see if there's a major change. but the market senses

we've over done it? do you think maybe the dollar has gone too far at this point? that certainly a possibility. one thing i'd i'd caution your viewers on as this, sometimes the timing of this can be good sometimes it can be bad for this reason. the higher interest rates and the higher currency value of the u s dollar right now is causing the brazilian producer to be in a great position to plant more corn. and so there's a window here where where if they're domestic price of corn spikes because the stronger dollar versus the real, we could see a significant increase in double crop corn acres in brazil in january february. so just a secondary factor . do you expect that to happen? and i've heard that that that jim planting and there is going extremely well. our scouts sent us a video. it looks like he was coming up through madagrosa de sol and it looked like the crop was about six to ten inches tall in good shape so far. they have a good planting progress ahead of normal but the critical time is the next twelve

weather and weather related factors and that's that's a week first full two pages with having down there. weather is still key this point forward. the acreage mix, initially, are you thinking maybe more corn now since that seems like a more profitable option now when we look at the double crop situation? jim made a real good point that the soybean crop is planted so much earlier this year. last year they delayed the planting because of dryness and that delayed the harvest of soybeans. and delayed a planting of double crop corn. this year the beans january, we could see up one hundred percent the double crop corn acreage in brazil planted in the best window in january february. last year was later and it suffered drought. at the same time early planting means early harvest which means that it could eat into our exported and be a bigger competitor to us earlier on. so we have trump inauguration in january, possibly that late january time frame, maybe we could see some

bit? it seems like some negative news that could come at us at once in this new year? it's going to impact not only what happens in brazil. as far as their situation and it's gonna come back and in fact what are farmers and ranchers are thinking here in the united states, i just looked at the ratio of soybeans to corn for next year, two point six two thirty two point two five a year ago. still favors planning and soybeans but the are things gonna change between now and then planning decision process? but the one thing about those arkets, i said do what the chinese do, not what they say. they are great traders. they have a way of understanding value. they have scouts in brazil also argentina and they're watching what's going on. i wouldn't be totally surprised if their crops develop as strong as it is, that they don't can't some of these sales they or purchases that they made .and i'm hoping not so far they've been very very aggressive on the buy side. as we get closer to the finality of

mentioned acreage here, and informa released some acerage forecast this week. you know bearish on the corn acres that thinks that we're going to see more soybean acres, which it is the popular opinion of of many when you look at the prices today. but do you think they could see corn acres go under ninety million. do you think we can dip that low? it's a possibility. that seems a bit lower today here in mid november. but i would say that's a possibility. a lot of producers or maintain a more flexibility in their planting ago. i e they're putting on the nitrogen in the spring . those were decisions they made ten years ago in the fall. so i think that that that would seem a little low. but again the economics of the economics dictated down the road and producers will embrace beans. but also really low in the wheat acerage. the lowest in fifty years or maybe ever possibly. do you think that we will see that few of winter wheat acres go in? yeah i think

significant reduction in parts of the hard red winter belt. maybe not as much as people thought earlier. same for soft red . there were some some really drastic cuts being talked out earlier. maybe not quite so high but still down as you said. and i do think that we right now and just have a difficult time getting producers to think their tension . we never want to cut production jim, but that's what we need in order to raise his prices right ?not only production here in united states. wheat is very global. in my feeling is, i think we're gonna see more reduction in inks at the present time. we had a little bit of improvement with the russian situation. that they had to bump their crop up a bit. about everybody else has got some issues with planting with at this level or lower. you saw what happened in oates when they decide to turn in their in their way of course the funds were short about a minute short about a hundred twelve thousand contracts a week. there's a spark there that something happens i had that we are going be a little bit more about all of the more interesting than a

realize that? i know the usda comes out on january twelfth with their winter wheat seeding report. so that we have a closely watched report. our first estimate for two thousand seven planting mix. all right we have much more to talk about including a possible cut in oil production at this point is opec even matter and the big in the big game we'll talk about that when we come back on u s farm report u s farm report brought to you by kuboda b action l series compact tractors warranty

he first roundtable we talked a lot about south america and the crop is going great. and we you know we've kind of talk that we need a hiccup to happened down there in order for us to have have higher prices here. so because the crop is it going in so well, can we bank on a record crop down there at this point? it's a

we had extreme flooding argentina late in the growing season that really gave us a bump particularly in the soybean and soybean meal market. so no we can't bank on it. i think we have to respect the fact it has the potential be quite large. one thing i'd share with your viewers though is that if all the beans are planted in a fairly narrow window, which they have been, there also mature in a fairly narrow window. which means if there were something like a wet harvest in january for example in brazil, that could take the top end off that yield in and give the market opportunity. so be flexible on your marketing. get a floor in place but give yourself an opportunity in case a weather issue does arise. we talked little bit about interest rates a little earlier on a what a trump administration would mean for interest rates. were hearing yellen saying that that an interest rate hike is coming soon. i know a rate hike in december was kind banked in. but now some analysts are saying hold on her verbiage was it strong enough. that maybe a rate hike is not coming in december. what do you think is going to happen? what does she want her

. the markets thinks that the present time they were gonna have higher interest rates down the road. may be higher than you think. you know i've i've heard of that dollar sharply higher than where it is that the current price. it had a devastating affect upon exports. it was tough in agriculture when the dollar got up more than one twenty. it was a brutal scene. we're hoping things are more tapered. more quieter. degree of promoting the u s internally more so than they have in the past. tax structure may change here now. that will encourage corporations to be a little bit more aggressive. so i think it's a combination of the matchign the global situation of the domestic situation. but overall the market says higher inflation higher interest rates and a stronger dollar. brian this week we saw some decent corn export sales compared to last week compared to the four week average decent by a friday morning for soybeans. but as long as we have the strength in this u s dollar, do these weekly export sales in the strength

competition available. i don't want to discount the dollar for example. it's a very important factor. but what we discovered is this more of a secondary factor. so when you don't have the competition available for example from brazil this year, that we did last year in corn, we're seeing the world come to the u s for the moment, for the corn exports regardless of the strength of our dollar. but down the road if you get a rger a big rebound in brazilian production and a stronger u s dollar, that's not a good combination for exports down the road. with oil prices was all a little life earlier this week on talks that opec may cut production but in the big scheme of things, does opec even matter anymore jim? well their influence seems to be more diverse than what it has been in the past. but the question is what he'd do with them are the way that large in this chaos that in between lie four dollars per barrel to around fifty. so

bauer trading is as we were looking for opportunities on these major setbacks, gasoline and fuel prices, the lock in long term usage factors for these large scale farm ranch operations from the protections from a hedge standpoint. . all right real quick switching gears cattle prices heading into this holiday season what are you expecting to close out twenty sixteen. well it's going to be a choppy road i'm afraid. of cattle is still ample supply of red meat out there. a competition strong. so the best case scenario is i think we're starting to see placements back off a bit. but i think first of maybe a choppy road for cattle in and we'll see if it holds on the day's low hundred dollar level. all right thank you both for gonna get their closing thoughts when we come back on u

welcome back time now for closing thoughts. jim bower. let's start with you. most certainly is an interesting time with what all is going on from the political stand point,

your enthusiasm because there's some issues out there that we gotta be careful. as far as producers moving grain, which a lot of them they're going need to do for cash for a reason for tax reasons, bower trading likes the approach of repositioning some of those sales to spread relationships--long term, bull spreads where the time value doesn't take as much as they do not fit there also seems that we review underwritten options strategies that as we did on a customized base and risk tolerance of the client. between those two strategies what we live on my plate instead went out ahead brian. i think with it the crops tucked away here tremendous amount of a bushels out there. whether it's corn or soybeans. what we're encouraging producers to think about now is defending their balance sheets most importantly getting control those bushels. by that mean we mean a tremendous amount of equity tied up in those bushels establish a price floor for those bushels be a different

to participate if there is an issue in south american weather. but that control those bushel get control. thank you both stay with us john phipps joins us next to receive a free trial of the daily market letter and gain knowledge about current market conditions from the professionals at bauer trading view the markets like never

on results from last

several cities last week - a pretty surprising development given the anti-tax mood. the taxes are on soda or pop or whatever your word for sugar- sweetened-beverages - ssb's. varying from 1 to 1? cents per ounce, it doesn't seem like a big deal, but it might be, in two ways. first, as was emphasized in the philadelphia example, it is a relatively inoffensive source of revenue for hard-pressed city budgets. after all is you don't drink many ssbs, it's an easy tax to support. for that city, annual revenue of about 90 million dollars is expected. tying that revenue to schools or other popular uses helped get it passed as well. secondly, we have all been hearing for years about sugar consumption, and one of the largest sources of unneeded sugar is soda and similar drinks. they contain astonishing amounts. one can of

much sugar in a cup just to get the idea. ssbs also include sports and fruit drinks with added sugar. there is some evidence that such taxes work. mexico instituted a fairly modest tax - 8 cents per liter - and saw ssb consumption drop about 6%. mexico has been struggling with obesity and diabetes epidemics for years. such taxes are not without after hitting a peak of about 1.3 cans per person per day in the 90's. like cigarette and alcohol taxes, many citizens are automatically exempt due to their consumption preferences. adding those folks to people worried about the health issues of added sugar, and the politics of soda taxes seem to be feasible. i suspect we will see more government bodies eye this

mike. pork producers are facing tight margins right now. the latest sterling profit tracker showing farrow to finish producers lost 42 dollars per head last week, which is a dollar worse than the week before. at the same time, packers are seeing better margins at 46 dollars per head. that imbalance is weighing on prices across the board. so is this a repeat of 1998? that's our farm journal report the road this year, as both livestock and grains are feeling the pinch. but it's reminding some of the 1998 pork price collapse, fearing the inudstry is on the brink of another historic time.

you? well, it's a topic we haven't covered a lot on our show, but it's making headlines across the country. and it's thiss week's customer support. bob dillard noticed something important i think that also happened on november 8: "at what point do we begin recognizing the tremendous number of our fellow citizens who now can use a cash crop that is transforming the economies of colorado, oregon, washington and now over 12 percent of the population in

ustry with a giant upside that will only continue to grow." bob, you make a great point. recreational and medical marijuana measures passed in numerous and varied states, but i do not think this is going to become a big money maker for farmers. i may be one of the few of my generation who did no experiment with marijuana in the 60's and 70's or since, believe it or not. so i'm relying on excellent information from michael pollan's book, the botany of desire. his explanation of marijuana breeding and production soon dispels any dream a lucrative cash crop for ordinary farmers. high quality marijuana production is almost entirely done in greenhouses with intensive lights, just like most profitable vegetables are grown

the lower electricity costs are offset by higher security expenses. the breeding is highly sophisticated and as scientific as corn hybrids. production is also labor intensive, and highly regulated - aspects most farmers dislike. but most of all, big companies including tobacco giants have been poised for legalization for years and will bring enormous financial and technical assets to dominate the market. it only takes relatively local marijuana wiull still be grown, like backyard gardens, the big market will be served by bigger players. there is simply too much money to be made to be ignored by big business. states will likely encourage this industrialization to simplify regulation and maximize tax revenue. i support legalization but don't expect it to save many
