Going Private and Leveraged BuyoutGoing private refers to the transformation of a public corporation into a privately held firm. A leveraged buyout (LBO), financed largely by borrowing, is the acquisition of the stock or assets of a public company by a small group of investors. The buying group may be sponsored by buyout specialists or by investment bankers. A variant of the LBO going-private transaction is the management buyout (MBO) in which a segment of the company is sold to its managers. Since 1981, unit MBOs have represented more than 10 percent of total divestitures...

In the past few years, we have made a concerted effort to increase the usage of cover crops and other conservation practices on our farm. I have learned a lot of lessons from this experience but one stands out above the rest. Being a good steward of the environment and aiming to produce high yields don’t have to be mutually exclusive. In fact, I would argue that if intensively managed, conservation practices should significantly enhance yields... For example, you do not want to plant legumes immediately prior to or behind a leguminous cash crop such as peanuts and soybeans because it could lead to disease issues...

It’s been over two decades since the first Roundup Ready crops were planted in commercial fields. At the time of introduction, the technology was revolutionary for farmers, who found a highly effective and convenient chemistry to control a broad spectrum of weeds. Roundup Ready corn and soybeans quickly became the norm in fields across the United States, and as a result, application of glyphosate increased dramatically... In the initial years of use, glyphosate provided an effective, economical means to control weeds in Roundup Ready corn, soybeans and cotton... In the case of glyphosate resistance, many farmers rotated Roundup Ready corn with Roundup Ready soybeans in fields for years without changing up their sites of herbicide action...

This Week in AgricultureA Mixed Bag of Information from the Week that Was: September 21, 2018· An interesting week of trade as it appears most of the bearishness that came from last week’s USDA updated supply and demand numbers has moved to the sidelines. Potential changes to Chinese trade policy across the board, ideas of soybean arbitrage on a global scale and talk of inflationary pressure were seen as mostly price supportive, or at the very least the desire to move to new lows has dissipated for now. · It is interesting to see a shift in Chinese attitude or at the very least an attempt to change how they are viewed by their trading partners... · Another interesting development was seen in the global cash trade when it comes to soybeans... For those simply looking at a yearly chart and not necessarily looking at fundamentals soybeans would appear to be a buy here...

In July of 2014, I sat in the audience on the last day of the InfoAg Conference in St Louis. It was my first major farm conference trip outside of somewhat local events that had been put on near my home in the Carolinas. Frankly, my mind was blown with this experience. I had taken in more new information in a three-day period than I had in the previous five years combined... You’ll be able to interact with neighbors to see what they think are the best soybean varieties for your county and you’ll also be able to read national marketing experts’ views on how Chinese tariffs will affect those same soybeans...

This Week in AgricultureA Mixed Bag of Information from the Week that Was: September 28, 2018· Quarterly stocks numbers, harvest progress and trade developments dominated much of the market conversation this week. · After what appeared to be a move by China to find the good graces of their global trade partners last week a much different attitude emerged over the weekend. Saturday evening leaders announced they would not come to the US for trade talks until after the midterm elections, claiming the increase in pressure out of Washington was behind the decision... These numbers hold greater importance this month for corn and soybeans because they will be used as final old crop ending stocks numbers, giving us an indication as to whether or not USDA supply and demand estimates put together each month have been accurate... · It is interesting to note that while stocks increased across the board when it comes to soybeans, the US farmer is holding a significant amount of beans as we work our way into harvest...
