A new budget deal from president Obamas Administration has some iowa farmers on edge. Well explain why biions of dollars may disappear for Crop Insurance. Good morning, this is the e david geiger. Last week. The Obama Administration rolled out a four trillion dollar budget deal. In it. A cut to Crop Insurance to the tune of 18 billion dollars. Some lawmakers were quick to voice dipproval of the plan. House ag chair mike conaway says it would be a sever blow to farmers. Pat roberts. The senate ag chair. Calls the new budget an attack on risk management. Iowa senator Chuck Grassley also voiced disapproval in a conference call. Support. And the individual issues in it will get looked at. But when it comes to Crop Insurance cuts. H hpoints to the omnibus spending package last year. Where similar cuts were removed. Legislators plus the white house want to take money out of Crop Insurance. We stoppepethat. So i think weve got the votes to stop it now. The second thing is, theres just kind of a rule about farm bills over the last 35 years. You spend a year or two writing a farm bill, its a five year farm bill, yy want farmers to havav certainin so you dont open up a farm bill. According to the national Crop Insurance services. Producers pay a collective fourillion dollarar every year fororrop insurance. Cutting it would make farming more expensive especially with low commodity prices. China is worried about its growing grain stocks. While seeing theres a need to reduce higher guaranteed Producer Prices for food. The u sda says the government does not know when or how to do it. So the country is expected to see record corn. Production again. For the 20152016 marketing ar. The usda thinks china will make two hundred 25 Million Metric Tons of corn. And a hundred and 30 metric tons of wheat. China could also have a combined ending stocks of two hundred 58 Million Metric Tons. About half of global reserves. Last week. Cattle returned to its volatile sideways buying. Slow, lackluster, not much going on. Kind of your typical lunar holiday type trade. Were still stuck in the same range weve been in. The key will be to come in and hold this weeks lows next week and see how that pans out you know if it tracks price demand or not as well too. So very lackluster, dont see much goi on here right now. Till we get closer to the enenof the month, maybe. We start to get a little bit more of a weather time period. Big volatility again. Cash market did not hold in. Light cash trade again this week. But erratic. We had reports anywhere from 128 all looks like if we can hold the cash at 132 134 next week or not. Keep this back down and retrace the recent lows and support levels. Really the gains are in the cut outs. Keeps the optimism underneath the market in spite it trending towards overbought. Estimate a big,g, big rally. I keep waiting for the markets to set back a little bit further. Try to buy into it there but so long as the cash trade stays firm, i think the short term trend is still up. Buwere not advising any fresh buys here right now. If youre long, id stay long but wait for a set back to buy in. And thats all i have today. Thanks for tuning. Ill be back tomorrow.
