Surging feed prices will test recovery in US animal protein production In the coming year, US livestock and poultry producers will face more feed cost inflation than they have in over a decade, challenging their ability to recover after a difficult and volatile 2020, finds a new report from CoBank.
Hopes for a substantial rebound in profitability for meat and poultry producers and processors in 2021 will be difficult to come by with corn and soybean meal prices at multi-year highs, forecasts Will Sawyer, lead economist, animal protein, CoBank.
Feed costs have been relatively benign since 2012, helping US beef, pork and poultry sectors to expand more from 2014 to 2019 than in any five-year period in the industry’s history, noted the

With corn futures above $4 per bushel and soybean meal futures around $350 per ton, cattle feeders, hog producers and chicken producers will pay higher prices for feed than they have in many years, according to a new report from CoBank’s Knowledge Exchange division. The U.S. animal protein sector is expected to face a 12% increase in feed costs in 2021, which will mark the highest year-over-year inflation since 2011. It s an additional challenge for livestock producers whose margins have been pressured by weak prices in 2020.
“Most producers lost money during the year, but that’s been in the midst of some of the most extreme volatility in global food demand anyone has ever seen,” said Will Sawyer, lead animal protein economist with CoBank. “Industry margins are far better today than they were in the spring, but there will be tighter windows of opportunity for the livestock and poultry sectors to profit in 2021.”
