(Purdue\/CME Group Ag Economy Barometer\/David Widmar)<\/p><\/div>\n<p class=\"FORMAT-BODY\">The decrease is a 10-point drop from February\u2019s reading of 134. The barometer is based on a monthly survey of 400 agricultural producers from across the United States.<\/p>\n<p class=\"FORMAT-BODY\">\u201cThe barometer has been moderating in recent months after a large jump in sentiment that began in November 2016,\u201d said <a href=\"https:\/\/ag.purdue.edu\/commercialag\/ageconomybarometer\/team\/jim-mintert\/\">Jim Mintert<\/a>, director of Purdue\u2019s Center for Commercial Agriculture and principal investigator for the barometer. \u201cWhile sentiment has settled lower, it\u2019s important to note that it is still higher than during all but the last two months of 2016.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"FORMAT-BODY\">The March 2016 reading was 85.<\/p>\n<p class=\"FORMAT-BODY\">The barometer\u2019s sub indices \u2014 the Index of Current Conditions and the Index of Future Expectations \u2014 offer insights into why producer sentiment settled at 124. The Index of Future Expectations, which measures producer sentiment 12 months out and beyond, fell to 126 in March, down from the February reading of 148. The Index of Current Conditions, however, increased from 105 in February to 120 in March.<\/p>\n<p class=\"FORMAT-BODY\">\u201cAt 120 in March, the Index of Current Conditions exceeded recent highs and is at a level that we haven\u2019t seen since late 2015,\u201d Mintert said. \u201cProducers\u2019 reduced optimism about future economic conditions in agriculture are what drove this month\u2019s barometer lower.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"FORMAT-BODY\">Producers\u2019 optimism toward the overall U.S. economy continued to be strong in the March report, a trend that started in November 2016. In October, just 35 percent of respondents said they expected widespread good times in the U.S. economy over the next five years. By December, this number had jumped to 71 percent. It improved again in the March survey, increasing to 77 percent.<\/p>\n<p class=\"FORMAT-BODY\">\u201cThese results are consistent with producer responses to other questions about the U.S. economy,\u201d said <a href=\"https:\/\/ag.purdue.edu\/commercialag\/ageconomybarometer\/team\/david-widmar\/\">David Widmar<\/a>, senior research associate for the Center for Commercial Agriculture and leader of the barometer\u2019s research activities. \u201cTwo examples are that 59 percent of producers said that they expect the U.S. economy to expand and 78 percent expect the U.S. stock market to be higher or about the same over the next 12 months.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"FORMAT-BODY\">Read the full March Ag Economy Barometer report at <a href=\"http:\/\/purdue.edu\/agbarometer\">http:\/\/purdue.edu\/agbarometer<\/a>.
