I never appreciated the beauty of grain bins until I realized them as a bank, holding a million dollars.
USDA reports can move crop markets, and also offer insight into farm profitability with just a few calculations. The USDA’s annual Acreage report was released today and showed a 1.6% increase in corn acres and a .5% decrease in soybean acres from previous planting intentions, nearly opposite of expectations. Additionally, corn and soybean futures prices had dropped 6% and 7% respectively since the March 28 Prospective Plantings report, for year-end delivery, prior to the report release. The resulting potential revenue decline of $7.3B is a significant amount and banks should be aware of the impact on ag loan portfolios. #fintech & #data for #ag #communitybanks and #farmers
This is vital for #farmers to understand. This is vital for #ag #communitybanks to understand. Great analysis!
THE RANGE OF NEW-CROP PRICE EXPECTATIONS IS NARROWING EARLY — by Joseph Janzen Lower price levels and a narrower range of expected price outcomes indicates that the market believes that the remainder of 2024 will have lower price volatility than in previous years. The dynamics of options-implied new-crop price distributions for corn and soybeans in 2024 suggest the potential for a jump in new-crop futures prices is dwindling more quickly than usual. While seasonal rallies in the June to August growing season are typically viewed as a good time to make pre-harvest sales, markets appear to signal that a substantial growing season price increase is less likely in 2024 than in recent seasons. Although some analysts have suggested the market may be “assuming too much” or at least moving too quickly in that direction, the market continues to signal lower and less volatile corn and soybean prices than in recent years. This shift in market expectations should inform farmers’ marketing strategies for the coming season. Read more: https://lnkd.in/eJ9NnhqS #commodity #markets #price #corn #soybeans #rain #CornBelt
Great write up by Charles Potts of the ICBA that addresses "generational evolution" in banking. Link in comments ⬇ Ag lending is no exception. ✳ As upcoming generations of farmers look to ag tech in the field, and seek to capitalize on data based products, ag banks can be the farmer's hero partner by providing custom tailored loans and talk with them about the things that matter. 💯 Don't wait until after the farmer's year-end accountant meeting to check in on the financial progress. Don't wait because you think farmers aren't looking for better financial services. Be their hero today❗ #fintech & #data for #ag #communitybanks and #farmers

It's National Agriculture Week! Thankful for farmers 💪 and all those that work in agriculture! #fintech for #ag #communitybanks and #farmers
Great report Jake Fuchs! This is especially germane for Ag Banks (% of loans to farms/farmers). 👨🌾 The average American farmer is 57 and a half years old, according to the most recent data from the U.S. Department of Agriculture. 📈 Adjusted for inflation, agricultural land values have increased almost 3x since 1990, when boomers were entering mid-farming career. See here --> https://lnkd.in/gD6xNKfA 🤝 So, the services offered by community Ag banks, supported by tools such as the article listed will be vital in coming years for farm customers!
We’ve all seen the astounding stats about the trillions of dollars that are set to change hands in the coming decades. But what does this mean for community banks? Jake Fuchs reflects on how community banks are uniquely positioned to become vital partners in managing the complexities of wealth transition with a personalized touch. But this will require creating innovative strategies around wealth transfer and investing in the right technology. Retaining these deposits when they’re transferred to the next of kin will be vital to community banks’ survival longer term.
Loan repayment risks mitigation will be more effective and accurate with data based tools. #ag #fintech for #communitybanks
