Gary D. Marshall, CEO Missouri Corn also worked with the state’s Missouri Corn Merchandising Council livestock industry to showcase the benefits Missouri Corn Growers Association 2011 Annual Report 3 LEGISLATIVE & PUBLIC P LICY FIGHTING ON THE FEDERAL FRONT For the last five years, the Missouri Corn Growers Association (MCGA) has advocated for the passage of free trade agreements (FTAs) with Colombia, Panama and South Korea. This fall, after submission by President Barack Obama, Congress approved these necessary measures, giving U.S. farmers the opportunity to recapture and develop key markets overseas. Estimates show passage of the trade deals could result in an additional $2.5 billion in sales, adding a value of up to $45 million to the Missouri economy alone. Already the third largest market for U.S. corn, South Korea has the potential for an increased distillers grains market. Colombia, traditionally one of the top 10 customers of U.S. corn, is currently importing from competitors due to delayed passage of the U.S. FTA. Upon enactment, U.S. corn growers will have access to an $82.7 million bushel corn market at zero duty. Under current rules, grain tariffs into Panama can reach up to 90 percent, while Panamanian goods coming into the United States enter duty-free. The long-awaited passage of the FTAs levels this playing field and gives Missouri corn farmers access to this fast growing economy.

In an extremely difficult budgetary environment, MCGA worked hard to secure full funding for the Missouri Qualified Fuel Ethanol Producer Incentive Fund. The 2012 fiscal year appropriations help fulfill the state’s commitment to the farm families who built Missouri’s six farmer-owned ethanol plants. Missouri Corn will now begin working to secure full funding for the final budget year of this beneficial program. Recognizing losses incurred from grain dealer bankruptcies seriously affect farm families, MCGA representatives testified in support of and successfully helped pass SB 356. The law, requiring licensed grain dealers to maintain a Over 1,000 farmers and agriculture supporters minimum net worth of 5 percent of total grain gathered on the south lawn of the Capitol purchased during the previous year, is a step Wednesday to show support for the “Missouri forward in helping to protect grain farmers from Solution” to Proposition B, Senate Bill 161. future warehouse bankruptcies. 2011 Annual Report 5 MEMBERSHIP GROWING STRONG GRASSROOTS MCGA’s political success is a tribute to the strength of a growing grassroots and membership program. This year, the Missouri Corn grower services program worked to educate farmers on current policy affecting the corn industry, boosting awareness of MCGA and creating opportunities for growers to network with peers and industry partners. These efforts helped propel MCGA membership to its highest level in our 33-year history. This membership growth, a 20 percent increase from 2010, garnered Missouri Corn the honor of the second highest number of new members among all corn grower associations in the nation. This growth is a testament to the strength of Missouri’s corn sector. Now more than ever, the state’s corn farmers are stepping up to help shape the future of the industry through effective public policy and market development. Despite these accomplishments, our work is far from finished. Every membership matters. If you’re already a member of MCGA, we thank you for your support. If you have not yet joined, we ask you to become a part of an organization committed to protecting the rights of its members, building new markets

Schwarz OSKR, LLC 2200 Powell St., Suite 430 Emeryville, CA 94608 [email protected] I. Introduction After many years of overly simplistic pricing, pricing strategy in Major League Baseball has now evolved to recognize the complexity of the supply and demand factors for baseball tickets. Most important among these factors is the demand uncertainty teams experience from game to game, often with a high degree of variation. There are many causes of this variation, such as the quality of the opponent or the day of the week. Perhaps the least understood factor is competition for fans’ discretionary spending, yet in other industries this is of paramount concern when setting price. If an owner is lucky, there are capacity constraints (i.e., limited stadium seating) that prevent the team from satisfying total demand. Calling such a constraint lucky is ironic; owners of teams playing in smaller stadiums used to complain that they couldn’t compete financially because they had fewer seats to sell, but times have changed along with the economic model of a sports team. Now, team owners pine for smaller facilities with more amenities where they can charge higher prices for regular seats, club seats, and luxury suites, taking advantage of the excess demand that a small, high- 1 We would like to thank Ronald Park for his excellent research assistance.
