"FY 2011 Exports Expected to Rise to $113 Billion; Imports Rise to $81.5 Billion"
The latest projected Agricultural export numbers have been released by the USDA. Agricultural exports are up this year and so is net farm income due to stronger prices. It is appearing, currently, to be a bright spot in the economy.
As usual, global weather disasters have shifted the dynamics of supply and demand.
In the U.S....
I wanted to see corn ethanol export numbers, since the high sugar price is expected to increase the export market for U.S. corn ethanol but they are not to be found in this release.
Corn, wheat, meat, and distillers grain exports will all increase, as will fruits and vegetables.
Overall, farm solvency is also in good condition in the U.S.
