The document discusses crop production and markets for corn, soybeans, wheat, and canola in the United States, Canada, and globally. Some key points:
- US corn production in 2020 is estimated to be the largest since 2016 at 94.1 million acres planted.
- Corn futures prices are expected to trade based on expectations of a large US crop until something changes that outlook.
- Nearly 50% of the global soybean supply is consumed in China, but US soybeans currently face a 25% tariff, reducing Chinese imports.
- Only about 12% of North American wheat is soft red wheat, the type often traded, so wheat news does not always strongly impact cash bids.
- In Ontario
Corn is the largest agricultural commodity globally and in the US. It has a variety of uses including animal feed, ethanol production, human consumption, and polymers. Global demand for corn is rising due to population growth, increasing incomes in developing countries, and demand for meat and processed foods. The US and China are major producers and consumers of corn, and fluctuations in their crops and imports can impact global supply and prices. Exchange-traded fund CORN provides exposure to corn prices without the need to trade futures directly.
The document discusses opportunities in the Philippine corn industry. It notes that corn is the second most important crop and about 14 million Filipinos depend on it as a staple. While production has fluctuated between 2011-2016, opportunities exist in processing corn into products like starch, oil, ethanol and bioproducts. However, farmers face issues like high input costs, lack of organization and access to financing. The Department of Trade and Industry aims to help by strengthening farmer organizations, promoting investments, and providing training to improve production and develop new corn products.
The document discusses gains from trade using the example of a potato farmer and cattle rancher. It finds that while the farmer has an absolute advantage in potato production and the rancher in meat production, the farmer has a comparative advantage in potatoes due to lower opportunity costs. Specialization and trade allows both to expand their consumption possibilities by producing what they have a comparative advantage in and trading. Without trade, both would consume less of both goods.
Agriculture in the US employs only 2% of the population but uses highly mechanized and productive farming techniques on 20% of US lands. US agriculture operates more like a business focused on large surpluses and profits, using immigrant and marginalized labor mainly for harvesting. The government protects US agriculture through subsidies and import restrictions to support domestic farmers' livelihoods, but this makes it difficult for other countries to compete in global markets.
Farming in the US is still primarily a family business, with 99% of farms owned by individuals or family partnerships. The number of farms and people working in agriculture has significantly declined since the late 19th century. Modern farms have greatly increased yields through machinery, fertilizers, and other technologies, with one farmer now able to produce enough food to feed over 100 people. Major agricultural commodities and exports include meat, dairy, poultry, grains, fruits and vegetables. In addition to food products, farms also produce materials like plastics, oils and paper products. The average American consumes over 100 pounds of meat and dairy and over 200 pounds of produce, grains and oils each year.

WHEAT: The Vital Grain of Civilization and Food SecurityCIMMYT
Wheat is a vital staple crop that is grown on 215 million hectares worldwide, an area equivalent to the size of Greenland. Nearly $50 billion worth of wheat is traded globally each year. Wheat provides a key source of protein for many developing countries, and is the dominant staple crop in North Africa and Central Asia, providing up to half of daily calories. Meeting rising global demand for wheat by 2050 will require growing 60% more wheat than today. While improved varieties and practices have increased wheat production since the 1960s, extreme weather and market instability have caused price spikes that harm poor consumers. Continued development of new wheat technologies and policies can help meet accelerating global demand in a sustainable way.
The document discusses the history and uses of corn and soybeans. It details how corn originated in Mexico around 1 A.D. as teosinte and was first farmed by Native Americans before being introduced to other cultures. Corn is now found in many processed foods due to its carbohydrates. The document also explains how hybrid corn was developed to increase yields but led to farmers needing to purchase new seeds annually. Additionally, it outlines that soybeans are high in protein and oil, making them useful for animal feed and vegetable oil production. Soybeans were introduced to the United States in 1941 and are now one of the largest crops.
This document profiles the peanut industry in the United States. It discusses the history of peanuts, government subsidies and the 2002 Farm Bill, supply and demand trends, trade data, and price information. Key points include: peanuts are mainly grown in Georgia and Texas; the 2002 Farm Bill eliminated quotas and provided new subsidy programs; consumption has remained stable at around 6 pounds per capita; exports have declined while imports of peanut oil have increased; and prices have remained near the $0.18 per pound loan rate since the Farm Bill.
The document discusses several topics related to agriculture including:
- Wheat grown with pivot irrigation in Jordan
- The US and China are the top producers of corn, much of which is used for animal feed
- Large farming equipment costs $100,000-$250,000 to purchase while fuel, fertilizer, and pesticide costs make farming a high investment with low returns
- In 1950, one US farmer fed 27 people but today one farmer feeds 135 people due to increased efficiency and scale of American agriculture
This document provides a history of American agriculture from the 18th century to the 1990s. It describes how agriculture developed from northern farmers producing a variety of crops and livestock to the south focusing on export crops. Significant events that impacted agriculture included the Irish potato famine, droughts, migration during wars, and farm financial crises. New crops from Europe were introduced, cotton replaced tobacco as the main cash crop in the south, and experimental work led to disease-resistant plant varieties and hybrid seeds. By the 1990s, biotechnology brought developments in commodities and genetically engineered crops. America became a major market for agricultural products from third world countries.

The Indian economy at the time of independence in 1947 was stagnant and backward. Agriculture was the primary occupation but it was unproductive and relied on subsistence farming. The zamindari system of land tenure exploited farmers and reduced many to landless laborers. Infrastructure like roads, ports and railways was poorly developed. Industrialization was negligible and the handicrafts sector had declined. Demographic indicators like life expectancy and literacy rates were very low due to low standards of living under British rule. Overall, India faced significant economic challenges after independence.

This document summarizes insights about lower tier youth in Indonesia and India from research conducted by Youthlab Indonesia and INgene Research. It describes lower tier youth as having basic education, aspiring for better economic opportunities. They enjoy reality TV shows and music videos. Transportation and phones are status symbols marketed through installment plans. Social media use is growing but still naïve. Collectivism and conforming are important social values for this group.
We are part of a unique generation that knows life with and without technology. We started to see this as an advantage, but also recognized our generations' flaws with technology use. We need to stress the importance of understanding we can't use old advertising techniques of pushing messages to people just because the technology is available. Our generation needs to know it's our duty to change the future of advertising, and we can do it by becoming good marketers that provide meaningful, authentic content. We need to start questioning and thinking critically about the way things are -- just because it's always been that way doesn't mean it's right.
The document summarizes research conducted by a team to determine how Vans can increase their market share among Millennials. The team conducted 12 in-depth interviews to develop hypotheses and a 29 question online survey of 62 Millennials. Key findings from the survey include that Millennials are unlikely to purchase Vans currently but may be more likely if Vans introduced a dressier shoe style or refreshed their classic lines. The team recommends Vans focus on these areas as well as using eco-friendly packaging and a celebrity endorsement to target Millennials.

Brand activation is a marketing process that brings a brand to life for consumers through various brand experiences. It involves creating an activation idea based on a brand activation platform - a space in consumers' lives where the brand can interact in a meaningful way. The objectives are to enhance brand image/equity, provide unique brand platforms to gain maximum exposure, and activate brands distinctively to induce brand trial. The process involves developing a brand brief, selecting an agency, executing activities across different media channels, and evaluating the agency's performance. Key considerations for agencies include strategic and creative power, transparency, responsiveness, cost-effectiveness, and management of project costs and resources.

The survey of over 5,500 social media users across 11 countries found that while most (84%) follow brands on social media, true brand promoters who are extremely likely to recommend brands make up only 19% of respondents. Promoters differ from more passive "sharers" in that they actively and regularly follow brands, interact directly with brands to give feedback, and are more influenced to purchase products mentioned by friends online. Top brands promoters recommend vary by country but include Apple, Samsung, Nike, L'Oreal and Dove, while local telecom and cable providers often made the "unlikely to recommend" list.

Supreme Flour World Wheat Presentation (March 2014)Supreme Flour
The document summarizes the global wheat market situation for the 2011/2012, 2012/2013, and 2013/2014 years. It notes that world wheat production increased 8.6% in 2013/2014 to a record 713 million tons while consumption increased only slightly to 704 million tons, leading to a surplus of 9 million tons. Key facts provided include a record Canadian wheat crop of 37.5 million metric tons in 2013/2014 and rebounding Black Sea production. The document also briefly discusses wheat supply and demand factors for South Africa, including its reliance on imports to meet 48% of domestic consumption needs.
The document discusses four major crises - climate change, conflict, COVID-19, and high food costs - that are contributing to a potential global hunger crisis. Russia's war in Ukraine is blocking exports of wheat, sunflower oil, and fertilizers from those countries. Soaring energy and fertilizer prices driven by the pandemic and war are also increasing food costs. Transformation of food systems is needed to address these interlinked challenges through sustainable agriculture, reducing food waste, and alternatives to fossil fuel-based fertilizers. Both short-term measures like keeping trade open and long-term reforms are necessary to prevent widespread food shortages.

The document provides an outlook and analysis of agricultural commodity markets in 2020. It discusses:
1) The risk of a demand shock has quieted, and a supply shock is needed to change market sentiment as the major driver of demand growth over the past decade has ended.
2) South America dominates world grain and oilseed trade flows and supplies are currently adequate, with the U.S. acting as a price floor and transparent storage source.
3) The past decade saw unprecedented growth in global demand for corn, soybeans, wheat and vegetable oils driven by globalization, dietary shifts and biofuels, but this golden era of growth has ended.
This document summarizes a presentation about the end of industrial agriculture and a move towards more sustainable agrarianism. It outlines the vision and mission of Community Solutions to reduce energy consumption through low-energy lifestyles. It then discusses how industrial agriculture relies heavily on fossil fuels and machinery at the expense of soil health and sustainability, compared to more sustainable agrarian systems used for thousands of years. Key metrics are presented showing the dominance of crops like corn and soy that support industrial meat production over more nutritious fruits and vegetables. The implications of this system for public health and the environment are also summarized.
A Restorative Approach to Family Farm Agriculture and Prosperous Rural Commun...Ranch Foods Direct
This document summarizes Mike Callicrate's views on the problems facing family farm agriculture and rural communities. It outlines how large agribusiness corporations have consolidated power over the food system, squeezing out small farmers and ranchers. This has led to the decline of rural towns as farming families struggle financially. Callicrate advocates for supporting family farms and changing policies to break up corporate control of the food chain in order to create a more just and prosperous system.
Brian Kemp, a fourth generation Iowa soybean farmer, discussed current U.S. soybean crop conditions and 2020 planting intentions. Crop progress nationwide for the 2019 harvest was 91% completed, slightly behind the 5-year average. In Iowa, harvest progress was 95% done, slightly ahead of the 5-year average. The 2019 growing season brought challenges like wet weather in June and drought in July. Kemp intends to plant crops best suited for each field and matching equipment/labor availability. A 2020 planting survey found U.S. farmers plan to plant 83.6 million acres of soybeans, somewhat lower than 2019 due to trade and weather issues.

Land O'Lakes is a $10 billion agriculture and food company focused on growing through innovation. It has a proud past as a farmer-owned cooperative founded in 1921 with deep roots in rural America. Today it is a strong, global business producing more food with fewer resources. Its vibrant tomorrow will require meeting challenges like increasing global food demand while protecting finite land and water. Continued productivity gains and telling agriculture's story of affordability and sustainability will be key.
The world population has grown exponentially from 5 million in 8000 BC to over 6 billion currently. Most population growth is occurring in poorer parts of the world. The global population increases the worldwide demand for food by 2% per year. However, the poorest countries only see a 1.9% increase in food supply to match their higher 2.5% increase in demand. Potential solutions to increasing the global food supply include improving crop yields through technology like genetic modification, expanding available farmland, and boosting food production from aquatic sources. However, simply providing technology or food to underdeveloped areas may not fully address the issues caused by rising populations and unequal access to resources.
The United States is the world's leading agricultural nation, despite a small percentage of the population being involved in farming. Agriculture is a major industry in the US, with over 2 million farms cultivating over 900 million acres. Farming is concentrated in the central Great Plains and around the Great Lakes. The US is the top global supplier of grains, dairy, meat, and soybeans, producing a disproportionate amount relative to its farm land area. However, overproduction has lowered prices and caused difficulties for some farmers.
Plan B 3.0 Chapter 2 Deteriorating Food and Oil SecurityStart Loving
The document summarizes how peak oil and rising food prices threaten global food security. It notes that the world is increasingly dependent on oil for food production and transportation, but global oil production is peaking while demand rises. As a result, food and fuel prices are increasingly linked, with grain prices rising to oil equivalents. This diversion of food crops to fuel and higher input costs reduces the global food supply at a time when population is growing. The food crisis will hit poor countries hardest and could destabilize failing states.

The United States is the world's leading agricultural nation despite having less than 8% of the world's land suitable for farming and less than 3% of its population involved in agriculture. The US produces about 20% of the world's wheat, corn, oats and sorghum as well as being responsible for 14% of dairy products and 17% of meat globally. Additionally, American farmers face the challenge of overproducing food and agricultural products, which has lowered prices and caused difficulties for some farmers.

Tim has been with Company X for 30 years but now has problems tracking and holding staff and managers accountable. He finishes tasks himself instead of delegating, leaving no time to mentor employees. This has led to poorly trained, disengaged staff. James should issue Tim a written warning with specific, measurable goals and personally connect with Tim. If Tim's performance increases, extend the goals. If not, terminate employment and hire internally, while implementing an employee involvement program.

This document summarizes a company's strategic moves over multiple rounds. It eliminated low-end products and focused on high-end, which provided two products in the high-end segment. It invested heavily in marketing, R&D, and training to drive customer awareness and lower costs. However, poor timing of some moves like repositioning a product, initial overspending on manufacturing, and maintaining high leverage led to a low stock price and losses despite high sales. Future rounds aim to improve size, performance and introduce new products to better compete in key segments.

Ball Corporation founded in 1880 and is now a global packaging company with 4 divisions and over 14,500 employees worldwide. In 2010, Ball started the Ball Foundation to transition its philanthropy from corporate giving to impact-driven community investment. The Foundation aims to bring structure, transparency, and leverage impact measurement to Ball's giving globally. However, the Foundation currently lacks serious backing within Ball and metrics showing its community impact, and is seen by some as taking away from Ball's bottom line. To address this, we recommend increasing Foundation staffing, creating promotional materials, doing a company roadshow, and leveraging Ball's family-oriented culture to better integrate the Foundation within the company.

"Does Foreign Direct Investment Negatively Affect Preservation of Culture in the Global South? Case Studies in Thailand and Cambodia."
Do elements of globalization, such as Foreign Direct Investment (FDI), negatively affect the ability of countries in the Global South to preserve their culture? This research aims to answer this question by employing a cross-sectional comparative case study analysis utilizing methods of difference. Thailand and Cambodia are compared as they are in the same region and have a similar culture. The metric of difference between Thailand and Cambodia is their ability to preserve their culture. This ability is operationalized by their respective attitudes towards FDI; Thailand imposes stringent regulations and limitations on FDI while Cambodia does not hesitate to accept most FDI and imposes fewer limitations. The evidence from this study suggests that FDI from globally influential countries with high gross domestic products (GDPs) (e.g. China, U.S.) challenges the ability of countries with lower GDPs (e.g. Cambodia) to protect their culture. Furthermore, the ability, or lack thereof, of the receiving countries to protect their culture is amplified by the existence and implementation of restrictive FDI policies imposed by their governments.
My study abroad in Bali, Indonesia, inspired this research topic as I noticed how globalization is changing the culture of its people. I learned their language and way of life which helped me understand the beauty and importance of cultural preservation. I believe we could all benefit from learning new perspectives as they could help us ideate solutions to contemporary issues and empathize with others.
