Am Outlook - Notable Stories

GOOD MORNING, Prices were mixed in the evening, higher for beans and soyoil with corn struggling and all turning in the red by the AM hour.  Soyoil prices are proceeding with caution as some expect an EPA story about biofuels.  The rumors are that the EPA may finally release two years’ worth of mandates today.  The corn market was able to shrug off biofuel concerns, as it may have little bearing on E-10 blending, which accounts for most of ethanol usage in the US.  It will have a larger impact on RIN prices. Tonight’s Commitment-of-Traders report will probably find funds short wheat and meal, and thus the short-covering in the wheat market continues.  Active global tenders and questions about Russia&rs...

Illuminating the value of technical research

On behalf of a commodity producer organization, WPI evaluated the outputs from a project that featured a $5 million investment into technical research over multiple years. WPI’s team captured the results of this extensive effort and synthesized them for presentation to the organization’s governing board; among the findings uncovered and presented for the first time was the development of genomic traits proven, via rigorous testing, to provide crop yield advantages of 50 percent or more to U.S. farmers in times of drought. Capturing measurable results from long-term efforts can be challenging. Educating clients on the dynamics of success measurement when quantifiable results are not readily available requires deep client-consultant collaboration and an ability to consider both near- and long-term client aspirations with market/policy dynamics – attributes that WPI brings to every consulting engagement.
