(Purdue\/CME Group Ag Economy Barometer\/David Widmar)\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/news.uns.purdue.edu\/images\/2017\/mintert-april.jpg\">Download Photo<\/a><\/p><\/div>\n<p class=\"FORMAT-BODY\">April\u2019s 130-point reading represents a vast improvement in producer sentiment since the barometer launched at 106 in April 2016.<\/p>\n<p class=\"FORMAT-BODY\">The increase is part of a recent trend of higher optimism among producers, 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.<\/p>\n<p class=\"FORMAT-BODY\">\u201cAgricultural producer sentiment since December 2016 has been more positive than at any other time since data collection began, including the base period from October 2015 to March 2016,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"FORMAT-BODY\">The barometer\u2019s two sub-indices also showed slight improvement with the Index of Current Conditions increasing from 120 in March to 127 in April, and the Index of Future Expectations improving from 126 to 132.<\/p>\n<p class=\"FORMAT-BODY\">April\u2019s survey asked producers about their expectations for crop prices over the next year. While 54 percent said they expected prices to be about the same in 12 months, another 27 percent expected lower soybean prices. Only 17 percent said they expect soybean prices to be higher.<\/p>\n<p class=\"FORMAT-BODY\">\u201cThis is quite different from a year earlier as the share of respondents expecting lower prices in the April 2017 survey was more than double the 13 percent of respondents expecting lower prices in the April 2016 survey,\u201d Mintert said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"FORMAT-BODY\">Quarterly, the barometer also includes survey data from 100 industry thought leaders, such as agribusiness executives, agricultural lenders, commodity and farm organization leaders, as well as agricultural economists in the academic and government sectors.<\/p>\n<p class=\"FORMAT-BODY\">Thought leaders\u2019 expectations for the health of the farm economy increased by 12 percent in April compared to January. But their optimism about the farm economy didn\u2019t carry over to commodity prices, 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.<\/p>\n<p class=\"FORMAT-BODY\">\u201cDespite the improvement in thought-leader sentiment from January to April, the group indicated they are less optimistic about both corn and soybean prices than they were back in January,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"FORMAT-BODY\">Read the full April Ag Economy Barometer report at <a href=\"http:\/\/purdue.edu\/agbarometer\">http:\/\/purdue.edu\/agbarometer<\/a>. This month\u2019s report includes additional updates about commodity price expectations among producers and thought leaders, and looks at producers\u2019 willingness to make capital investments \u2013 another measure of their confidence.<\/p>\n<p class=\"FORMAT-BODY\">The April release marks a year since the barometer launched. A supplemental year-in-review report also is available on the website.
