Senator Chuck Grassley says a huge crop and low prices have boosted the chance of getting an early farm bill. When the new bill could get done, next in todays agribusiness report. But right now, heres a look at todays opening farm markets. Good morning its. Welcome to the agribusiness Chuck Grassley says a huge crop. And low prices have boosted the chance of getting an early farm bill. Ag leaders and producers have hinted or argued for a new farm bill for weeks. Pointing at the 2014 bill. Farm safety net. Grassley forecasts when he gets back from washington, hes going to hear a lot of stress from farmers having trouble getting refinanced for a new crop year. I think theres going to be a lot of talk about we got to get a new farm bill passed in 2017. Preempt the 2018, fifth year of the 2014 grassley says there isnt enough time to get a farm bill done before farmers plant a crop next year. Saying any new bill would apply for 2018. Adding there is a need for urgency. Net farm income is down about 30 billion dollars since 2013. Absentee ballots are now ready for eligible iowan beef producers to participate in a state beef checkoff referendum. That decision will decide on if farmers should pay 50 cent per head to help the checkoff.

Just getting a feel for what the actual crop size out there is, so its a volatile time. And just uncertainty on whats going to happen geopolitical. What were watching with the dollar, things of that nature so today were trying to get back what we gained in wheat and corn yesterday. And soybeans are having a hard time also making up their mind, which direction they want to head as well. Seems as though every time we think weve established a low in cattle and could perha we again kind of get a touch of a sell off or see the market maybe reverse directions. The hardest part about that right now is a. Its thinly traded, and b. There are no new stories. So its really difficult to maintain a long term or self sustaining market move when nothing has changed from one day to the next. Same story is what were seeing in the cattle, we know we have large amounts of supplies, we know we have reasonable demand. But at the same time, until something significant changes were really just going to be at mercy as to who showed up to work that day, prices have gone below the break even levels. And there are still more worries about the number of hogs headed to market this fall. A Purdue University report says the numbers may me more than packer plants can handle. The usda september hog and pig report didnt help the situation as numbers are three percent higher this year. Animal numbers in the heaviest categories were up four percent. And packer head counts are up eight percent. However. The usda thinks slaughter numbers will ease by the end of the year. Two new slaughter processor operations are scheduled and michigan in 2017. That would increase slaughter capacity by another six percent. The packer margins. Though. Have been good with the squeeze in capacity. And thats all the time i have for the show today.
