"ARC-IC: Payment Examples and Revised 2019 ARC-IC Payment Calculator." endobj From 2014 to 2023, the MYA price for soybeans has never been below $8.40 (see Figure 2). With a record demand for Chinese grain due to global weather issues and the COVID-19 quarantine, compounded by international supply chain snarls, corn prices per bushel were $5.77 at Novembers end with soybeans at $12.64. Storage costs are around $0.03 per bushel per month. Sporadic counties across the country also received payments. Growers receiving $6.00 per bushel only need to have an 8% harvest loss to pay for drying costs of $0.50 per bushel. If this is not occurring, another option may be lower cost. Grain Transportation Report Datasets | Agricultural PLC was instituted in the 2014 Farm Bill, and triggers payments when the market year average (MYA) price is below the statutory reference price.

Unlike all other major program crops, PLC did not trigger any payments for soybeans from 2014 to 2022, primarily because soybeans has a low statutory reference price relative to other crops. From 2014 to 2019, MYA prices for soybeans were below the ARC-CO benchmark price (see Figure 1). Based on survey results, it would be possible to hire a custom operator well below the economic cost of owning and operating. farmdoc daily (10):143, Department of Agricultural and Consumer Economics, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, August 4, 2020.

The three southern crops peanuts, long-grain rice, and seed cotton paid in the most years: peanuts at 100% of the time, long-grain rice at 89% of the time, and seed cotton at 78% of the time. The seeds can absorb moisture overnight, so timing of harvest within a day may be important (see Nafziger, September 16, 2017). Although the actual costs will vary from farm to farm, and are dependent on the number of acres and the size or capacity of the equipment used, the averages presented here can be used as a guide. 2885 0 obj <>stream Improvement in outlook could come from higher prices, above trend yields without lower prices, additional government aid, cuts in costs, or some combination of those. Green Damage In August, Ceres Solutions Cooperative Inc. announced to its members and customers in Clay County, Indiana, its intent to cease receiving grain effective December 31 at its Brazil and Clay City locations.

Rubeck harbors no ill will toward the cooperative and said hes always liked their employees. With many factors that vary by farm and year, it can be difficult to determine the best approach for harvest operations from a cost management standpoint. USDA Harvest will occur on all harvestable acres on a farm each year and it generally is cost effective to own the combine and grain cart for harvest operations. Corn production for 2021 is forecast to exceed 15 billion bushels, with beans at 4.45 billion, and average yields of 176.5 and 51.5 bushels per acre, respectively. If too dry, pods may crack and drop seeds resulting in lower yields. These changes could also potentially benefit other crops if their market prices increase relative to their statutory reference prices in the future. Corn triggered in 56% of the years. Foreign Material All foreign material in excess of 1.0% will be deducted from gross weight and will not be paid. Because average custom combining costs for corn and soybeans are nearly the same as economic costs and timing could be an issue with a custom harvester, a farm with adequate labor will generally find it cost effective to own and operate a combine. Litz said hes been having conversations with his ag clients since the announcement was made. As shown in Figure 3, ARC-CO made payments in the Great Plains, particularly in North and South Dakota. Use a Minimum number of miles at all times in your rate structure. BigBadBill got it right. The rate on grain hauling is on a per bushel loaded rate. You have to load right on up to the top if you are going to make it worth while. I know a guy that does it here in Ohio and I think he told me he was paid around .20 or .25 cents a bushel. As a result, PLC has yet to be an effective risk management program for soybeans. Harvesting before optimal timing can result in additional drying costs and harvesting after optimal timing can result in yield loss as the grain continues to dry and lose moisture. Production Unfortunately, input costs rose dramatically this year, too, as inflation soaked the economy. With the Brazil and Clay City facilities holding roughly 700,000 bushels of grain between them, that load will now be bottle-necking the line somewhere else, he said. The farmdoc economic cost estimate is set at $0.10 per bushel.

Based on the Iowa State data, average custom rates for tillage, planting, and harvest operations in 2022 are expected to increase by about 7 percent, compared to the 2020 Nebraska Agricultural Custom Rates with The Grain Hauling Cost Calculator was developed as a decision aid to assist Tennessee producers in estimating the cost of transporting corn, wheat, and soybeans from their farm to alternative locations. New WOTUS Rule on Hold for More Than Half of U.S. These rates are only intended as a guide. These high percentages can be attributed to the fact that PLC made no payments on soybeans since its inception in 2014, and expectations for the marketing year average price to remain well above the reference price at the time of enrollment for both the 2021 and 2022 crop years. As a result, the MYA had to be below the $8.40 statutory reference price for PLC to pay since its inception in 2014 through 2023. A partner in Allied Insurance Agency and broker of crop and farm insurance by day, Rubeck has been a lifelong producer as well as an auctioneer with 15 years in ag. Arguments are being made to increase statutory reference prices. We calculated the number of times PLC triggered payments for the nine program crops with at least 2 million base acres. WebA typical rate is an initial charge of 9 to 16 cents per bushel for the first 3 months of storage and an additional charge of from 2 to 4 cents per bushel for each additional month. A summary of costs for harvest operations from the farmdoc machinery cost estimates is shown in Table 1 next to the corresponding average, median, minimum and maximum custom rates from the Iowa survey responses. Although it is likely easier to secure trucking when hauling direct to a market, in some areas custom trucking to a farm bin site is also possible. eA@ ct1(qOJ=_V! , ypVCD_<9tZA O.kkJGQGMFR'/.~i*Aiqt/WOtOym]0|xC4K^tyQ4s#s0 %q04#7CT;X8;2K(oxFuI`=Q)6E;*pQi3p#34vAGN9#24X ,FKh`i44Y%ml'Y8o9(B>S{/ t In general, cash costs per bushel of corn for both dryland and irrigated budgets were projected lower for 2021, primarily due to lower fuel costs, with a dryland corn average cost of $2.34 per bushel and $2.28 per bushel on irrigated corn. But with a recent farm-related injury, young children at home, and a successful farm insurance brokerage to run, the added prospect of hauling his grain nearly 40 miles instead of 10 was just too much. At $6.50 that would be 175.50 - 60 for fuel. <> Planting and drilling rates appear to have increased approximately 7% to 10%, and harvesting rates range from 3% to 25% higher in 2020 from 2018.

Grain For a given size of combine, the economic cost per acre declines as the acreage increases. Unfortunately, both locations require significant investments to maintain proper services, and there is simply not enough volume for us to be able to support that decision.. For example, a 2,000-acre farm could run a 540 horsepower combine at a cost of $45.80 per acre for corn or a 320 horsepower combine at a cost of $39.70 per acre for corn. However, soybeans effective reference price did not increase above the statutory reference price during the life of the 2018 Farm Bill (2019 to 2023). farmdoc daily(10):20,Department of Agricultural and Consumer Economics, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign,February 4, 2020.

Inspections of wheat dropped notably from the previous week as shipments to Asia and Latin America decreased. For example, the cost of running a 320 horsepower combine on a 2,000-acre farm is $39.70 per acre for corn, equal to the cost of running a 540 horsepower combine on a 2,400-acre farm. The Iowa State custom rate survey breaks this down based on hauling to farm storage versus to market, and various distances. Webcorn price, at $6.10 per bushel, is up 53 cents from last month and $1.35 from February 2021. Farmers who own and operate their own machinery for harvest operations are able to make these decisions and select an optimal harvest order and timing. This can be a way to reduce capital demands and cover one of the necessary harvest job tasks without the added labor costs of an additional farm operator. Benchmark revenue equals benchmark price times benchmark yield, where both the benchmark yield and price are based on the five-previous values lagged one year (see farmdoc daily, September 17, 2019). The economic costs of owning and operating a grain cart (tractor overhead included) is based on a $57,500 grain cart with 1,000-bushel capacity used on 1,900 acres. Drying costs (on farm) usually run about $0.040 per point of moisture (per bushel). Still, that average was 6 cents higher than in 2016, the last time the freight market softened. And as all producers know, those figures dont include labor or other soft costs. Timing of harvest is also critical in cost management considerations. The February price for all wheat, at $9.17 per bushel, is 69 cents higher than January and $3.34 higher than February 2021.

But that simply hasnt been typical of small town U.S.A. over the years, where the trend has been moving toward farmers building their own larger storage facilities. ARC-CO accounts for 86% and 85% of soybean base acre enrollment in 2021 and 2022. Moreover, the $8.57 MYA price for 2019 was below the $9.63 benchmark price. A farm may justify the higher cost per acre, with the expectation for added costs or lost revenue if harvest progressed at a slower pace with the smaller combine. To obtain the lowest costs, newer combines must be used on 1,500 acres or more per year. Cost of production estimates, per bushel, for herbicide-tolerant soybeans are $8.89, $8.72 and $8.57 assuming 50, 56, and 62 bushels per acre, respectively. But this is just one more problem in whats been a complicated season across the world.
