Grain supply side macroeconomics are shiftingGrain supply side macroeconomics are shiftingBrian Burke, president of John Stewart & Associates, spoke to attendees at the Annual Four Star Pork Industry Conference held in Muncie, Indiana in September 2024. Burke said production trends show 78% more corn production in Argentina, noting their yield curve is not as high as the US. We have nothing like that in the US – we have two grain export terminals that can load two vessels at a time out of New Orleans. “Their expansion is dramatic and their ability to supply the world in the whole grain market is increasing,” he said. Their corn crop becomes a bonus crop, similar to a second crop of soybeans that follows a soft winter wheat crop in the US.
