Prospective Plantings Outlook 2012

The USDA Prospective Plantings and Grain Stocks Report is an annual report providing a first look at US farmers' planting intentions for the current crop year.  Soon after the 2012 report was issued this morning, Dr. Chris Hurt and Dr. Corinne Alexander of the Purdue Agricultural Economics Department presented a Prospective Plantings Outlook discussion webinar to help farmers, agribusinesses, and others involved in the grain industry make sense of the USDA report and its potential effects on grain markets.  If you missed the live presentation and would like to hear their analysis, a recorded version of the webinar is available here.  A high-speed internet connection is recommended for viewing.
