Basis of Presentation [Abstract] |
Basis of Presentation | Note 1. Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, these statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the quarter ended March 31, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2013. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company's transition report on Form 10-KT for the six months ended December 31, 2012. Effective this quarter, the noncontrolling interest of certain of the Company’s less than wholly-owned subsidiaries was subject to a mandatorily redeemable put option. As a result, the Company reclassified $180 million of noncontrolling interest in shareholders’ equity to long-term liabilities at March 31, 2013. Adoption of New Accounting Standards Effective January 1, 2013, the Company adopted the amended guidance of Accounting Standards Codification ASC Topic 220, Comprehensive Income, which requires the Company to present, either on the face of the consolidated statement of earnings or in the notes, the effect on the line items of net income of significant amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income. The adoption of this amended guidance requires expanded disclosures in the Company’s consolidated financial statements but does not impact results (see Note 11). Last-in, First-out (LIFO) Inventories Interim period LIFO calculations are based on interim period costs and management’s estimates of year-end inventory levels. Because the availability and price of agricultural commodity-based LIFO inventories are unpredictable due to factors such as weather, government farm programs and policies, and changes in global demand, quantities of LIFO-based inventories at interim periods may vary significantly from management’s estimates of year-end inventory levels.
