We go to the Science Center to discuss National Parks adventure and why on spring break the science good afternoon. This is the agribusiness report. Im david geiger. Every year in washington d. C. The usda hosts an agricultural outlook forum. This year is the 92nd. And the theme is transforming agriculture. One of our market analysts. Dan hueber is there right now. He says if you have time for all the meetings. Theres something for every part of agriculture. With a database of production and trends dating back to the 18 hundreds. This forum takes a different perspective from the usual survey and data releases from the usda. By no means are anything thats presented here are farmer surveys or things of that nature. Its more on lets look at the economics and whats happening today. What future trends could that call for and of course for many in the industry its always that first point in the year where a little bit of a peak out happening this year as far as acreage numbers and production numbers, those type of things. Same in livestock. Dan tells me a real value of the usda forums and releases. Is he dan tells me a real value of the usda forums and releases. Is he doesnt see any agenda they would have in terms of market prices. Having a nonbiased source helps out Smaller Companies dealing with commodities. He says a good economist knows how to hedge bets. And that takes a thorough look at what the reports say. And dont say. One of the questions asked this morning of one of the usda economists who actually put out the supply and demand numbers was recognize that we dont know whats going to happen in the weather yet. We dont know whats going to happen with the dollar. After talking about the outlook forum. I made sure to talk to dan about the current markets. When the usda came out with the projected acreage number yesterday it was slightly higher than some thought. That put a little pessimism into the grain trade. Here a week ago, everything was looking a little bit more was stimulated by a little bit of a bounce up in the crude oil market. Which helped out the commodities, but it helped out even the equity markets as well. And once the glimmer came off of that market, which really happened once there was a going to cut back on production at talking about capping crude production. You know that just really, kind of seemed to take the wind out of the sails and we drifted back lower here. Nice little turn up from a reversal we posted just a little over a week ago. But even there, keep into perspective that im looking in the june cattle for example here we are just pushing back into the 126 level, boy we havent gone anywhere. Might be difficult to 128 range here again. Even on this rally. Give the hog market credit that we havent deteriorated. Early in february we had june hogs 81 dollars. A year ago 81 dollars just really seemed to cap off the hog market. But it doesnt look like we have great reason to move much higher than we have here already. In that Usda Ag Forum i was talking about earlier. The fbi is there too. But not have a booth. And theyre warning of economic espionage. They think agriculture is a target by foreigners. Are promoting indicators trade secret theft against us ag and Biotech Companies and institutes are on the rise. The targets are us companies. Universities. And Government Research facilities. And thats all i have for the show today. Hope you all have a good weekend. Thanks for tuning in. We put stories up every day. Check out whotv dot com. Click news before we go.
