  2. Slide 2: Welcome remarks

    Thank you Don and good morning everyone. It is a pleasure to participate once again in the ARA annual conference and exposition. This is a great opportunity for me to meet with many of our customers and, at the same time, kick a few tires on the latest application equipment. 1

  6. Slide 6: Race for Global Resources theme and pit stops

    Market conditions no doubt have changed since the planning committee selected “The Race for Global Resources” as the theme of this year’s conference. I suspect the committee might chose a different theme today given the volatility in financial and commodity markets during the last few months. Howeve

  8. Slide 8: Strong demand prospects basis for long term outlook

    Strong demand prospects are the basis for our positive long term outlook. The pace of grain and oilseed demand growth clearly accelerated during the last five years. For example, global demand increased 2.6% per year during the last five years. That is up 130 basis points from an annual rate of 1.3%

  10. Slide 10: Forecast of world grain and oilseed use

    More importantly, we forecast that world grain and oilseed use will continue to increase at a faster pace than historical trends due to steady population growth, higher per capita incomes and further increases in biofuels production. We project that global grain and oilseed production will increase

  12. Slide 12: Long term demand forecast model

    These long term demand forecasts were derived from a model that predicts use based on population and real GDP per capita. The amount of corn ground into ethanol in the United States was excluded from the statistical analysis and then added back based on actual and future mandated use. This chart sho

  14. Slide 14: Population growth drivers

    Let’s look at each of these drivers in more detail. Increases in population are steady and predictable. Global population is projected to increase from 6.6 billion today to 7.5 billion in 2020. The world sets the dinner table for 73 million more people each year. That is the equivalent of adding ano

  18. Slide 18: Income growth as demand driver

    Income growth is the second driver of grain and oilseed demand. Statistics show that people upgrade their diets to include more protein-rich foods as incomes increase, especially from very low to moderate levels. For example, this analysis indicates that, on average, per capita meat consumption incr

    Let’s take a closer look at recent trends for a couple of protein-rich foods. This chart shows the change in per capita broiler consumption in 17 countries during the last 10 years.

    Meat obviously is not the only way to upgrade one’s diet. People also consume more fish, eggs and dairy products as incomes increase.

  24. Slide 24: Middle class growth and diet upgrades

    The last several slides showed some pretty impressive growth in the consumption of protein-rich and grain- intensive foods in the developing world. But that is history. Despite the current downturn in the global economy, what really excites us is demand prospects during the next 10 to 20 years. Stud

  26. Slide 26: U.S. ethanol plants and capacity

    In addition to these traditional demand drivers, biofuels has emerged as a significant component of grain and oilseed demand growth. According to the latest information compiled by the Renewable Fuels Association, 181 ethanol plants with combined capacity of 11.2 billion gallons were operating in th

    This chart shows the exponential increase in U.S. ethanol production. Production totaled 6.5 billion gallons in 2007 and we estimate that production will climb to approximately 9.3 billion gallons in 2008. Corn-based ethanol accounted for 4.6% of U.S. gasoline supplies in 2007 and is projected to ac

    Ethanol now ranks as the the second largest use of U.S. corn. Feed remains the largest but ethanol has eclipsed exports for the number two spot. The U.S. industry ground 3.0 billion bushels of corn into ethanol during the 2007/08 crop year -- or almost 23% of the record crop harvested in 2007. Corn

    Additional harvested area and steady increases in yields are required to meet this challenge. This chart shows the average global yield required to meet projected demand, assuming further small increases in harvested area worldwide. You can see that the average yield must increase at a rate slightly

    Based on this analysis of the underlying agricultural fundamentals, we forecast that global nutrient use will increase from about 170 million tonnes in 2007 to more than 230 million tonnes in 2020. Global nutrient use is projected to increase 3.3% per year between 2005 and 2010 and 2.4% per year bet

    Based on that analysis, the long term outlook for global agriculture continues to look rock solid to us. This race for global resources will create great opportunities for both crop nutrient producers and agricultural retailers over the long haul. However, the unprecedented volatility in financial a

    In fact, a number of developments have created a “perfect storm” that is buffeting crop nutrient markets today. The global financial crisis has impacted crop nutrient markets in several ways. First, reduced credit has limited sales in some regions such as South America. Second, the commodity sell-of
