Federal Surplus, 1950-2021
President’s Budget, February 2011
Actual Forecast
Debt Ceiling Crisis
• The debt ceiling agreement calls
for the federal debt to increase
from $14.3 trillion to $23.3 trillion
over the next 10 years rather
than from $14.3 trillion to $25.7
trillion as previously planned.
Ever Growing Debt
• The federal government plans to
pay its bills by borrowing more
and more money. As long as
someone will loan the
government enough money, they
can pay their bills.

• This is not good for meat demand.

Outlook for 2012
• The futures market is predicting
$6.28/bu corn for CY 2012. That
should give a hog breakeven price of
$66/cwt live or $87/cwt carcass.
• The futures market is predicting $87.75
hogs for CY 2012.
• That indicates a profit of $1.50/head
