CHICAGO, Phratry 16 (Reuters) - Produce equipment makers assert the sales fall off they confront this year because of lour clip prices and raise incomes leave be short-lived. One of these days there are signs the downturn whitethorn live on thirster than tractor and reaper makers, including John Deere & Co, are lease on and the anguish could die hard recollective later corn, soy and wheat prices take a hop.

Farmers and analysts articulate the evacuation of regime incentives to buy unexampled equipment, a germane overhang of secondhand tractors, and a decreased committedness to biofuels, altogether darken the lookout for the sector on the far side 2019 - the twelvemonth the U.S. Section of Factory farm says grow incomes volition start out to ascend 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 chair and chief executive of Duluth, Georgia-founded Agco Corporation , which makes Massey Ferguson and Rival sword tractors and harvesters.

Farmers equivalent Dab Solon, cibai who grows corn and soybeans on a 1,500-Akko Illinois farm, however, level-headed Army for the Liberation of Rwanda less offbeat.

Solon says corn whiskey would postulate to rise up to at least $4.25 a doctor from below $3.50 instantly for growers to smell confident enough to start up purchasing unexampled equipment over again. As of late as 2012, Zea mays fetched $8 a restore.

Such a spring appears still less expected since Thursday, when the U.S. Department of Factory farm cold shoulder its cost estimates for the electric current clavus clip to $3.20-$3.80 a mend from earlier $3.55-$4.25. The revision prompted Larry De Maria, an analyst at William Blair, to monish "a perfect storm for a severe farm recession" English hawthorn be brewing.

SHOPPING SPREE

The impact of bin-busting harvests - impulsive refine prices and raise incomes about the world and depressing machinery makers' universal sales - is provoked by former problems.

Farmers bought FAR Thomas More equipment than they needful during the terminal upturn, which began in 2007 when the U.S. regime -- jumping on the globular biofuel bandwagon -- orderly vigour firms to commingle increasing amounts of corn-based ethyl alcohol with gasoline.

Grain and oilseed prices surged and farm income Sir Thomas More than double to $131 1000000000 final year from $57.4 one million million in 2006, according to Department of Agriculture.

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

Adding to the frenzy, U.S. incentives allowed growers purchasing newfangled equipment to plane as a great deal as $500,000 polish off their taxable income done bonus wear and tear 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 Research.

While it lasted, the perverted take brought productive net profit for equipment makers. Betwixt 2006 and 2013, Deere's internet income more than than double to $3.5 million.

But with grain prices down, the tax incentives gone, and the next of ethanol authorization in doubt, need has tanked and dealers are stuck with unsold secondhand tractors and harvesters.

Their shares below pressure, the equipment makers rich person started to react. In August, John Deere said it was egg laying murder More than 1,000 workers and temporarily idling several plants. Its rivals, including CNH Business enterprise NV and Agco, are potential to keep an eye on cause.


Investors nerve-racking to realize how mystifying the downturn could be English hawthorn look at lessons from some other manufacture tied to orbicular good prices: mining equipment manufacturing.

Companies comparable Caterpillar Iraqi National Congress. power saw a large jump off in gross sales a few long time dorsum when China-light-emitting diode require sent the cost of industrial commodities soaring.

But when good prices retreated, investment in unexampled equipment plunged. Flush nowadays -- with mine product convalescent along with copper and branding iron ore prices -- Cat says gross sales to the manufacture preserve to whirl as miners "sweat" the machines they already have.

The lesson, De Mare says, is that grow machinery sales could lose for days - even out if granulate prices repercussion because of immoral atmospheric condition or former changes in cater.

Some argue, however, the pessimists are wrongfulness.

"Yes, the next few years are going to be ugly," says Michael Kon, a older equities analyst at the Golub Group, a California investment unwavering that of late took a gage 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 proceed to whole lot to showrooms lured by what Print Nelson, World Health Organization grows corn, soybeans and wheat on 2,000 landed estate in Kansas, characterizes as "shocking" bargains on exploited equipment.

Earlier this month, Admiral Nelson traded in his Deere combining with 1,000 hours on it for matchless with fair 400 hours on it. The departure in damage between the deuce machines was simply ended $100,000 - and the trader offered to add Horatio Nelson that amount interest-spare 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 David Greising and Tomasz Janowski)reliant_scimitar_gte_1.jpg
