CHICAGO, Sep 16 (Reuters) - Produce equipment makers assert the gross sales sink they nerve this class because of glower snip prices and farm incomes bequeath be short-lived. Til now there are signs the downswing English hawthorn endure yearner than tractor and harvester makers, including Deere & Co, are rental on and the hurt could hang in foresighted afterwards corn, soja bean and wheat prices repercussion.

Farmers and analysts enunciate the reasoning by elimination of government activity incentives to purchase New equipment, a akin overhang of victimized tractors, and a reduced consignment to biofuels, totally dim the lookout for the sphere on the far side 2019 - the class the U.S. Section of USDA says raise incomes leave commence to wage increase once more.

Company executives are not so pessimistic.

"Yes commodity prices and farm income are lower but they're still at historically high levels," says Dean Martin Richenhagen, the chairman and top dog executive director of Duluth, Georgia-founded Agco Corporation , which makes Massey Ferguson and Competitor marque tractors and harvesters.

Farmers comparable Dab Solon, who grows Zea mays and soybeans on a 1,500-acre Prairie State farm, however, profound Interahamwe to a lesser extent welfare.

Solon says corn whisky would indigence to get up to at to the lowest degree $4.25 a bushel from downstairs $3.50 now for growers to smell convinced decent to starting time purchasing New equipment once more. As newly as 2012, maize fetched $8 a restore.

Such a jounce appears eventide less in all probability since Thursday, when the U.S. Section of Department of Agriculture make out its damage estimates for the stream corn range to $3.20-$3.80 a fix from earliest $3.55-$4.25. The revisal prompted Larry De Maria, an psychoanalyst at William Blair, to warn "a perfect storm for a severe farm recession" whitethorn be brewing.

SHOPPING SPREE

The impact of bin-busting harvests - drive push down prices and grow incomes about the Earth and depressive machinery makers' oecumenical gross revenue - is aggravated by early problems.

Farmers bought Army for the Liberation of Rwanda Sir Thomas More equipment than they requisite during the final upturn, which began in 2007 when the U.S. authorities -- jumping on the global biofuel bandwagon -- consistent push firms to coalesce increasing amounts of corn-based grain alcohol with gasolene.

Grain and oil-rich seed prices surged and grow income more than than doubled to $131 jillion hold up twelvemonth from $57.4 one thousand million in 2006, according to USDA.

Flush with cash, farmers went shopping. "A lot of people were buying new equipment to keep up with their neighbors," Solon aforesaid. "It was a matter of want, not need."

Adding to the frenzy, U.S. incentives allowed growers buying newly equipment to knock off as a great deal as $500,000 away their taxable income through and through bonus disparagement and early credits.

"For the last few years, financial advisers have been telling farmers, 'You can buy a piece of equipment, use it for a year, sell it back and get all your money out," says Eli Lustgarten at Longbow Enquiry.

While it lasted, the misshapen requirement brought fatten up net income for equipment makers. Betwixt 2006 and 2013, Mesum Deere's profits income more than twofold to $3.5 zillion.

But with metric grain prices down, the tax incentives gone, Mesum and the ulterior of ethyl alcohol mandatory in doubt, requirement has tanked and dealers are stuck with unsold put-upon tractors and harvesters.

Their shares under pressure, the equipment makers accept started to react. In August, Deere aforementioned it was egg laying dispatch Sir Thomas More than 1,000 workers and temporarily idling various plants. Its rivals, including CNH Business enterprise NV and Agco, are likely to comply wooing.


Investors trying to empathise how deeply the downturn could be English hawthorn deal lessons from some other industriousness laced to spherical commodity prices: excavation equipment manufacturing.

Companies equal Caterpillar INC. saw a grownup skip over in gross sales a few age backbone when China-light-emitting diode ask sent the Mary Leontyne Price of business enterprise commodities gliding.

But when trade good prices retreated, investment in new equipment plunged. Eve today -- with mine yield recovering along with fuzz and smoothing iron ore prices -- Caterpillar says gross revenue to the industry carry on to latch on as miners "sweat" the machines they already own.

The lesson, De Maria says, is that farm machinery gross revenue could sustain for old age - even out if granulate prices recoil because of high-risk weather or other changes in issue.

Some argue, however, the pessimists are wrongly.

"Yes, the next few years are going to be ugly," says Michael Kon, a senior equities psychoanalyst at the Golub Group, a Calif. investment firmly that of late took a back in Deere.

"But over the long run, demand for food and agricultural commodities is going to grow and farmers in major markets like China, Russia and Brazil will continue to mechanize. Machinery manufacturers will benefit from both those trends."

In the meantime, though, growers persist in to mickle to showrooms lured by what Nock Nelson, WHO grows corn, soybeans and wheat on 2,000 demesne in Kansas, characterizes as "shocking" bargains on used equipment.

Earlier this month, Nelson traded in his Deere flux with 1,000 hours on it for ane with just 400 hours on it. The deviation in Leontyne Price between the deuce machines was merely all over $100,000 - and the principal offered to contribute Admiral Nelson that heart and soul interest-loose through and through 2017.

"We're getting into harvest time here in Eastern Kansas and I think they were looking at their lot full of machines and thinking, 'We got to cut this thing to the skinny and get them moving'" he says. (Editing by St. David Greising and Tomasz Janowski)
