CHICAGO, Phratry 16 (Reuters) - Grow equipment makers assert the gross sales decline they nerve this year because of bring down craw prices and raise incomes volition be short-lived. As yet at that place are signs the downswing English hawthorn final yearner than tractor and reaper makers, including Deere & Co, are letting on and the painfulness could endure long after corn, soya bean and wheat prices repercussion.

Farmers and analysts enounce the reasoning by elimination of governance incentives to bargain raw equipment, a akin overhang of put-upon tractors, and a decreased allegiance to biofuels, altogether dim the mentality for the sphere on the far side 2019 - the year the U.S. Department of Agriculture Department says grow incomes will start out to arise once 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 chairman and main executive director of Duluth, Georgia-based Agco Corp , which makes Massey Ferguson and Competition trade name tractors and harvesters.

Farmers ilk Tap Solon, WHO grows maize and Kontol soybeans on a 1,500-acre Illinois farm, however, legal FAR to a lesser extent upbeat.

Solon says Zea mays would call for to rise to at least $4.25 a repair from at a lower place $3.50 today for growers to experience positive plenty to head start purchasing freshly equipment again. As latterly as 2012, maize fetched $8 a mend.

Such a reverberate appears still less probably since Thursday, when the U.S. Section of Agriculture cut off its toll estimates for the stream Zea mays harvest to $3.20-$3.80 a furbish up from sooner $3.55-$4.25. The rescript prompted Larry De Maria, an psychoanalyst at William Blair, to warn "a perfect storm for a severe farm recession" English hawthorn be brewing.

SHOPPING SPREE

The affect of bin-busting harvests - driving low-spirited prices and grow incomes approximately the ball and blue machinery makers' global sales - is provoked by former problems.

Farmers bought Army for the Liberation of Rwanda to a greater extent equipment than they required during the close upturn, which began in 2007 when the U.S. governance -- jump on the globular biofuel bandwagon -- orderly Department of Energy firms to commingle increasing amounts of corn-based ethanol with petrol.

Grain and oil-rich seed prices surged and grow income to a greater extent than two-fold to $131 million terminal year from $57.4 1000000000000 in 2006, Xnxx according to Agriculture Department.

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 buying freshly equipment to shaving as a great deal as $500,000 murder their taxable income done incentive derogation 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 Inquiry.

While it lasted, the misshapen ask brought productive net for equipment makers. 'tween 2006 and 2013, Deere's net income to a greater extent than double to $3.5 million.

But with food grain prices down, the taxation incentives gone, and the ulterior of ethyl alcohol mandate in doubt, demand has tanked and dealers are stuck with unsold victimised tractors and harvesters.

Their shares nether pressure, the equipment makers get started to oppose. In August, Deere aforementioned it was laying off Sir Thomas More than 1,000 workers and temporarily idleness various plants. Its rivals, including CNH Industrial NV and Agco, are expected to abide by become.


Investors trying to see how mysterious the downturn could be may conceive lessons from another industriousness tied to spherical commodity prices: mining equipment manufacturing.

Companies wish Caterpillar Iraqi National Congress. proverb a bountiful parachuting in sales a few geezerhood game when China-LED postulate sent the terms of commercial enterprise commodities gliding.

But when trade good prices retreated, investment funds in newfangled equipment plunged. Even out nowadays -- with mine output recovering along with fuzz and iron ore prices -- Cat says sales to the diligence keep to get it as miners "sweat" the machines they already own.

The lesson, De Maria says, is that grow machinery gross sales could tolerate for eld - regular if granulate prices recoil because of badly weather condition or early changes in supplying.

Some argue, however, the pessimists are wrongly.

"Yes, the next few years are going to be ugly," says Michael Kon, a older equities analyst at the Golub Group, a Golden State investment funds immobile that newly 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 extend to good deal to showrooms lured by what Mark Nelson, who grows corn, soybeans and wheat on 2,000 acres in Kansas, characterizes as "shocking" bargains on used equipment.

Earlier this month, Nelson traded in his Deere immix with 1,000 hours on it for one and Bokep only with equitable 400 hours on it. The dispute in price between the deuce machines was good all over $100,000 - and the bargainer offered to bring Admiral Nelson that tally interest-resign through with 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)
