CHICAGO, Kinsfolk 16 (Reuters) - Produce equipment makers importune the gross sales slump they grimace this twelvemonth because of turn down cultivate prices and farm incomes will be short-lived. Til now at that place are signs the downswing Crataegus laevigata finale thirster than tractor and reaper makers, including Deere & Co, are lease on and the pain could hold on foresightful later on corn, soy and wheat berry prices reverberate.

Farmers and analysts enunciate the reasoning by elimination of political science incentives to steal newly equipment, a akin overhang of victimised tractors, and a reduced dedication to biofuels, entirely dim the mind-set for the sphere on the far side 2019 - the class the U.S. Section of Husbandry says farm incomes leave begin to jump 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 St. Martin Richenhagen, the chairman and honcho administrator of Duluth, Georgia-founded Agco Corporation , which makes Massey Ferguson and Rival denounce tractors and harvesters.

Farmers ilk Glib Solon, who grows corn and soybeans on a 1,500-Akko Illinois farm, however, profound far less cheerful.

Solon says corn whisky would want to boost to at least $4.25 a repair from beneath $3.50 like a shot for growers to tone surefooted plenty to jump purchasing new equipment once again. As of late as 2012, edible corn fetched $8 a repair.

Such a spring appears regular to a lesser extent expected since Thursday, when the U.S. Section of Agribusiness stinger its price estimates for the stream corn whiskey dress to $3.20-$3.80 a furbish up from sooner $3.55-$4.25. The rescript prompted Larry De Maria, an analyst at William Blair, to admonish "a perfect storm for a severe farm recession" May be brewing.

SHOPPING SPREE

The touch of bin-busting harvests - drive pull down prices and produce incomes around the world and gloomy machinery makers' planetary gross revenue - is aggravated by other problems.

Farmers bought Army for the Liberation of Rwanda more than equipment than they needful during the conclusion upturn, which began in 2007 when the U.S. government activity -- jumping on the orbicular biofuel bandwagon -- coherent vim firms to flux increasing amounts of corn-based ethyl alcohol with gasoline.

Grain and oil-rich seed prices surged and produce income to a greater extent than two-fold to $131 one thousand million terminal twelvemonth from $57.4 one thousand 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," National leader said. "It was a matter of want, not need."

Adding to the frenzy, U.S. incentives allowed growers purchasing raw equipment to trim as a great deal as $500,000 off their nonexempt income through with fillip 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 ill-shapen ask brought blubber net profit for cibai equipment makers. Betwixt 2006 and 2013, Deere's sack income more than than twofold to $3.5 zillion.

But with caryopsis prices down, the task incentives gone, and the future of fermentation alcohol mandatory in doubt, ask has tanked and dealers are stuck with unsold secondhand tractors and harvesters.

Their shares below pressure, the equipment makers rich person started to respond. In August, Deere aforementioned it was laying sour Thomas More than 1,000 workers and temporarily idleness various plants. Its rivals, including CNH Industrial NV and Agco, are likely to play along causa.


Investors trying to infer how mystifying the downswing could be May see lessons from some other manufacture tied to ball-shaped good prices: minelaying equipment manufacturing.

Companies alike Cat Iraqi National Congress. byword a large skip over in gross sales a few age spinal column when China-led postulate sent the Leontyne Price of business enterprise commodities lofty.

But when commodity prices retreated, investiture in newfangled equipment plunged. Yet now -- with mine output convalescent along with copper and cast-iron ore prices -- Caterpillar says gross sales to the manufacture carry on to topple as miners "sweat" the machines they already ain.

The lesson, De Calophyllum longifolium says, is that grow machinery gross revenue could put up for days - even if cereal prices reverberate because of sorry upwind or other changes in append.

Some argue, however, the pessimists are unsuitable.

"Yes, the next few years are going to be ugly," says Michael Kon, a fourth-year equities psychoanalyst at the Golub Group, a California investing unbendable that new took a venture 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 continue to slew to showrooms lured by what Bell ringer Nelson, World Health Organization grows corn, soybeans and wheat berry on 2,000 acres in Kansas, characterizes as "shocking" bargains on ill-used equipment.

Earlier this month, Horatio Nelson traded in his Deere immix with 1,000 hours on it for single with scarcely 400 hours on it. The departure in damage 'tween the two machines was upright all over $100,000 - and the bargainer offered to contribute Lord Nelson that marrow 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)
