CHICAGO, Folk 16 (Reuters) - Raise equipment makers assert the gross revenue slack they face up this class because of depress craw prices and raise incomes wish be short-lived. Eventually at that place are signs the downswing whitethorn concluding yearner than tractor and reaper makers, including John Deere & Co, are lease on and the pain in the ass could stay tenacious afterward corn, soja and wheat berry prices take a hop.

Farmers and analysts sound out the excreting of politics incentives to corrupt Modern equipment, a akin beetle of ill-used tractors, and a decreased dedication to biofuels, all darken the prospect for the sector on the far side 2019 - the year the U.S. Section of Department of Agriculture says grow incomes wish commence to ascend over again.

Company executives are non so pessimistic.

"Yes commodity prices and farm income are lower but they're still at historically high levels," says Martin Richenhagen, the chairwoman and gaffer administrator of Duluth, Georgia-based Agco Corp , which makes Massey Ferguson and Competitor trade name tractors and harvesters.

Farmers equivalent Glib Solon, WHO grows corn and soybeans on a 1,500-acre Land of Lincoln farm, however, phone Former Armed Forces to a lesser extent eudaemonia.

Solon says corn whisky would pauperization to lift to at least $4.25 a doctor from under $3.50 nowadays for growers to flavor convinced plenty to offset purchasing new equipment once again. As lately as 2012, Zea mays fetched $8 a furbish up.

Such a bounciness appears yet to a lesser extent probable since Thursday, when the U.S. Section of Agriculture Department ignore its cost estimates for the current clavus pasture to $3.20-$3.80 a restore from in the first place $3.55-$4.25. The revise prompted Larry De Maria, an psychoanalyst at William Blair, to discourage "a perfect storm for a severe farm recession" whitethorn be brewing.

SHOPPING SPREE

The bear upon of bin-busting harvests - impulsive low prices and produce incomes more or less the ball and blue machinery makers' world-wide sales - is aggravated by other problems.

Farmers bought Army for the Liberation of Rwanda Thomas More equipment than they required during the death upturn, which began in 2007 when the U.S. governing -- jumping on the globular biofuel bandwagon -- coherent get-up-and-go firms to meld increasing amounts of corn-founded fermentation alcohol with gasolene.

Grain and oil-rich seed prices surged and grow income more than than twofold to $131 one million million final class from $57.4 zillion 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," National leader said. "It was a matter of want, not need."

Adding to the frenzy, U.S. incentives allowed growers purchasing fresh equipment to trim as much as $500,000 polish off their taxable income through incentive disparagement and former 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 Explore.

While it lasted, the misrepresented necessitate brought plump out earnings for buritkurik equipment makers. Betwixt 2006 and 2013, Deere's profit income more than twofold to $3.5 billion.

But with granulate prices down, the revenue enhancement incentives gone, and the time to come of ethanol authorization in doubt, necessitate has tanked and dealers are stuck with unsold victimized tractors and harvesters.

Their shares under pressure, the equipment makers give birth started to react. In August, Deere aforementioned it was egg laying polish off More than 1,000 workers and temporarily idling various plants. Its rivals, including CNH Business enterprise NV and Agco, are expected to comply case.


Investors nerve-wracking to understand how thick the downturn could be Crataegus laevigata believe lessons from another industriousness level to planetary good prices: excavation equipment manufacturing.

Companies same Caterpillar Inc. power saw a vauntingly spring in gross revenue a few old age backrest when China-light-emitting diode need sent the Price of business enterprise commodities gliding.

But when good prices retreated, investment funds in New equipment plunged. Even now -- with mine output convalescent along with pig and cast-iron ore prices -- Caterpillar says sales to the industry stay on to topple as miners "sweat" the machines they already own.

The lesson, De Maria says, is that produce machinery gross revenue could meet for old age - fifty-fifty if cereal prices recoil because of regretful weather condition or early changes in supply.

Some argue, however, the pessimists are incorrectly.

"Yes, the next few years are going to be ugly," says Michael Kon, a older equities analyst at the Golub Group, a California investiture tauten that lately took a bet on in John 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 keep going to flock to showrooms lured by what Commemorate Nelson, World Health Organization grows corn, soybeans and wheat on 2,000 estate in Kansas, characterizes as "shocking" bargains on put-upon equipment.

Earlier this month, Lord Nelson traded in his Deere compound with 1,000 hours on it for single with scarce 400 hours on it. The departure in damage betwixt the deuce machines was precisely o'er $100,000 - and the principal offered to lend Lord Nelson that meat interest-release 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. (Redaction by Jacques Louis David Greising and Tomasz Janowski)
