Ag producers may see improved prices in future Farmers and ranchers aren't

likely to see a rebound from Jow commodity prices thia year, but the outlook for long-term price recovery remain8 IItrong, aeeord­ing to the Food and Agricultural Policy Research Inatitute'8 Au­guatA.fricultural Outlook.

Moreover, financial a8siatance from Congre8a wiD give producer income a much-DMded ahotin the arm thia year, F APRI analyats­economiats at the University of Miasouri noted in a marketing teleconference hoated by the Lub­bock County E.tension oOice .-act the Lub~ CQImW ~. Club Aug. 13.

FAPRI iaa dual-university r&­

aearch program eatabli8hed in 1984 by a C0Jlll1l88ional grant, withofficeaand IltafI'at Iowa State University and the University of Miasouri. The inatitute uaea data and computer modeling aystems to analyze the economic interre'­lationahipaofagrieultural produc­tion, food 'and agribuain8l8. Thia baseline information ia ahared with producere and agribueinea8, policy makers and intemational commoditymaritets. Theinatitute collaboratea with Texu A&M, AnzonaState University, Univer-

Bity of Arkansu and North Da­kota State University in some of its research.

The teleconference was held one day after the United States Departmentof Agriculture issued ita ftnt crop report of the year. The monthly teleconference net­work involvea producers and mar­keting club8 in several atates and features expert comments from analyats on current market de­velopments and marketing strat­egiea producers can use to capi­talize on the market.

Abner Womack, FAPRI co-di­rect.or,_ .. ~~~,JQb"com­m04ity price situation ia gloomier than the U.S. pictUre. Even 80,

FAPRI'a long-term analyais call Coraa to .. ven positive price years in the next 10.

"Unfortunately, the worst two or three down-price yean are atill ahead of us .. , at thi8 end of the apectrum," Womack aaid. "Global price. may not improve signifi­cantly until 2002 or 2003, but we do 888 alow gains ahead over the next two to three years for U.S. commodity pricea."

FAPRI grain analyat Gary Adams pegged the 1999 U.S. com crop at 9.1 billion buahels, with

an average yield of 128 to 129 buahels per acre and a season average price between $2.10 and $2.16 per buahel. Even though com exports are expected to lag 76 million bushels behind 1998's exports, Adams aaid carryover stocks should drop by as much aa 200 million bushels by the end of the year.

"The proapectofslightly higher price8 could lead U.S. fanners to increase their corn acres in 2000. The long-term feed use and de­mand outlook ia poaitive for both feedgrain8 and oilaeeda,· Adams aaid. "VI, Joqk (or .. ~.8 mmon bushel 1999 aoybean crop, with an average yield of 38 to 39 bush­els per acre. Even though we ex­pect a higher oilseed crush and improved exports, overall80ybean supplies of3.2 billion buahel8 will continue to pressure prices to a season average of $4.50 to $4.60 perbu8hel.

"Increuing canyover 8tocks will continue to put downward presaure on aoybean prices for the next one to two yeara, barring any weather problema that affect yielda and production. We may see fewer aoybean acrea in 2000 and beyond, eapecially if USDA

ac\justs the $5.26 per bushel soy­bean loan rate downward."

Adams said uphmd cotton sup­plies are more than adequate for 1999's expected mill use, but that Congressional renewal of Step 2 (export enhancement) funds could help reduce U.S. supplies. Even so, F APRI expects cotton carry­over stocks to rise this year.

"We're looking for an 18.6 mil­lion bale crop, with an average yield of660 pound per acre. That will likely put the season average cotton price between 53 and 55 cent.e per pound if Step 2 funda are renewed or between 48 to 50 cents per pound without Step 2 renewal," he said. "Long-termcot­ton price recoverywiU key on world demand. Competition from syn­thetic fibera could work against improved long-term demand."

Scott Brown, F APRI livestock analY8t, is optimistic about a Jong­term rebound in livestock pricea due to atrong potential for global economic growth.

"Exports are a crucial factor in the beef price ou.t1ook. Even though some of our best custom­ers are in a down economic cycle, we look for beef exports to rise one

to two percent this year," Brown said. "We have Iimitad sales po­tential this year in Japsn and the former Soviet ststes but strong marketa such 811 Korea and Mexico should help fuel export sales.

"Beef production and slaugh­ter win rise this year. We look for fed cattle prices to rise 4.5 per­cent and average about $64.22 per hundredweight. Feeder cattle prices should rise 4.1 percent and average about $80.84 per hun­dredweight. Higher beef prices will be tempered by hog prices at $30 per hundredwejght or leas. Even though W8 a",moving more domestic product this year than last, relatively weak domestic demand will do little to draw down meat inventories."

As a result, F APRI foresees producer's real beefincome rising only two percentayear until 2002. After that, the in8titute look8 for a three to four percent annual increase.

Adams said com producen will likely find a few opportunities to forward contract com at higher prices this winter, but soybean producere probably won't be as fortunate. At theaame time, near-

term cotton prices could riae into the high 508 or low 60s if Con­gren renews Step 2 funds and if aggressive export sales material­ize.

Robert Young, F APRI co-direc­tor, said the Senate's $7.4 bi\lion

·financial assistance packap for producers would renew Step 2 funds through 2002, provide $5.4 bi1\ion in market 108s assistance payments, increase a producer's farm program payment limitation from$75,OOOto$150,OOO and pro­vide $400 million in crop insur· ance premium discounts.

"The House hu alrea~ passed its ag appropriations budget, 80

they will have to reconcile that budget and their veraion offinan­cial assi8tance with the Senate's before an aid package actually moves forward for the President tosign,"Youngsaid. "We'reconfi­dent, however, that lOme form of aid package will Boon emerge from Congres8 and that will be a boon to producer income thia year."

ISSUE UPDATE with Mac Thornberry ~

Repealing the Marriage Penalty will Help Couples and Restore Some Common Sense to Law

Over the past two weeks. I've talked about how our nation's tax policy too often stands iii the way of things we otherwise would want to encoUlag.:.

The capital gains tax discourages savings and invest­ment, while the inheritance tax penalizes those who want to pass a better life on to their kids. Believe it or not, the federal government's tax policy also penalizes working Americans when they decide to get married.

Under the so-called mar­riage tax penalty, a married couple where the man and the woman both

"work will often find themselves paying more in taxes because their joint incomes force them into a higher tax bracket. Nearly 42 million married Americans were

forced into a higher bracket in 1996, resulting in an average marriage tax penalty of$1,400 per couple,

Congress took a step to

leJuce this penally in the tax rdicr bill it approved earlier this month, Under this plan, the standard deduction for joint returns will be doubled, providing married couples with an average benefit of around $243 a year,

Hopefully, "t some point down the road, the marriage tax penalty will be eliminated alto­gether. But until that time, this is a step in the right direction,

It's also something that will help restore some conunon sense to our Nation' s tax policy, and help make sure that the federal government is working for us, and not the other way around.
