From the Des Moines Register….

Assuming the government’s latest crop forecast is right and this fall’s corn and soybean harvests are sufficient to meet demand, stocks of corn and soybeans are still expected to fall to historically low levels. That’s even as biofuel production and global grain consumption are likely to keep growing.

Corn supplies are projected to fall by one-third to just more that 1 billion bushels, or about one month’s consumption, when harvest starts next fall. Supplies could be even tighter; many analysts think the latest production forecast is overly optimistic.

The scary thing is the first comment on the story. I hope there are not to many farmers who think like him.
