US Corn Acreage
Linn Group sees corn acres at 87.2 million acres, down from 89.5 last month and 5 million below the USDA Estimate, Brugler Marketing said. Lanworth says the opposite, suggesting that nearly all of the Mississippi River flooded areas are drying out and will be planted.

Farm Program Payments
Written by
PHILIP BRASHER
Washington, D.C. - In a sign of the tougher congressional scrutiny on farm spending, a House panel voted Tuesday to cut off subsidies to the wealthiest producers and to trim payments to cotton growers.
The House Appropriations Committee approved the cuts by voice vote as part of a bill that would reduce spending for the Agriculture Department and the Food and Drug Administration by more than 13 percent for the budget year that starts Oct. 1.
Under the bill, farmers and landowners could have adjusted gross income of no more than $250,000 a year to receive subsidies. Under current law, subsidy recipients can make up to $750,000 in farm income and $500,000 in off-farm earnings.

Hog Market Outlook
Hog futures have been looking for a bottom since early May and there is some hope among producers the slide in prices may be coming to an end. The nearby June contract closed on Friday at $88.925/cwt, $1.12/cwt higher than the previous day but still some $16/cwt. or 15% lower than where it was in early April. Those who hold a more bullish view of the market will likely point to expected demand improvements going into the summer months. As seen on marketwatchonline.com
