Iowa Farm Loan Program Planning Prices for Guaranteed Loan Requests

 
The Iowa State Farm Service Agency (FSA) annually establishes prices for agricultural commodities that serve as a general guide for completing farm business planning. For the 2009 production cycle, corn and soybean prices are based on a model that allows flexibility in adapting to changing markets while also recognizing we are experiencing unusual volatility in corn and soybean markets. This model establishes planning prices based on November/December 2009 CBOT futures contracts, while also considering historical price levels. The formula for establishing current and typical year suggested prices is included in Iowa Notice FLP 08-02. The IA FSA Corn & Soybean Price Update will be updated on this site at the beginning of each week to reflect planning prices that should be used as a guide for farm business planning involving FSA direct and guaranteed loan customers. Contact your local Farm Loan Manager for additional information or for a copy of Iowa Notice FLP 08-02.
