The Crush Margin is the return remaining after accounting for the weaned pig, corn, and soybean meal that is used to cover the other more constant expenses. The Crush Margin is based on the following assumptions:
Carcass weight: 200 pounds Corn: 10 bu/hd Pig price: 50% of 5-month out LHF SBM: 150 lbs/hd

USDA’s Pork Long-Term Trade Projections (as of Feb 2013)
Data Source: USDA/ERS
• Longer-term U.S. pork export gains will be determined by costs of production in the U.S. relative to competitors’ costs
• Increasing demand for “higher quality” by consumers worldwide to justify higher costs of consumed protein

Next 12-18 months
• Profit opportunities should be on the horizon if:– Domestic demand can hold– Export demand can hold– Modest rebound in crop demand and continued moderation in
input prices
• Who will enjoy what share of the profits (producers, packers, retailers) less certain– Operation-level impact vs market-level impact of PEDv– Strategic opportunities for pork
What does this all mean for the pork industry?
![Page 72: Dr. Lee Schulz - Managing the Margin: Economic Outlook](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022012918/548264fcb4af9f7d408b469c/html5/thumbnails/72.jpg)
Next 10 years +
• Will the industry continue to gain more production capacity? If so, how fast?
• Don’t see large domestic demand changes
• Projected increased importance of export market– Export market fragile – be prepared for disruptions– The world is diverse with marked variation in preferences
(varied importance of price, cut preference, quality, phytosanitary issues, etc.)
• Changing landscape across production– Factors beyond “base fundamentals” rising in importance– Views and comparative advantages will determine the ability to profit and shape
the industry
• Next generation has a hungry and increasingly affluent world population to feed…Let’s keep up the great work!!!

• Pork production direction is relatively certain
• Magnitude of impact is relatively uncertain
• Operation-level impact vs market-level impact
• Inelastic demand for pigs– Contract barns are a sunk cost
If no pigs go into the barns payments still made Buying pigs (even at high prices) to fill these barns makes sense for
some in the industry — Even at a loss
