The financial index is generated based upon producers\u2019 responses to whether they expect their farm&#8217;s current financial performance to be better than, worse than or about the same as the previous year.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe sharp drop in the financial performance index this month indicates producers expect a sharp decline in income in 2022 compared to 2021. In the December survey, producers were focused on comparing a very positive income year, 2021, to 2020, which really supported the index at year end,\u201d said Mintert. \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The <em>Farm Capital Investment Index<\/em> also weakened this month, falling 4 points to a reading of 45. In January, 52% of respondents said they plan to reduce their farm machinery purchases in the upcoming year. Supply chain issues continue to hamper farmers\u2019 investment plans as, for the third month in a row, over 40% of producers reported that low farm machinery inventories were holding back their purchase plans. Farm construction plans were also weaker this month as 66% of respondents reported reducing their construction plans in the year ahead versus last year.<\/p>\n<p class=\"FORMAT-BODY\">Supply chain concerns extend beyond farm machinery and farm building\/grain bin construction plans. Disruptions in the supply chain for many farm inputs, coupled with strong demand, are pushing production costs higher. Fifty-seven percent of survey respondents in January said they expect farm input prices to rise by 20% or more in 2022 and 34% of producers said they expect prices to rise by 30% or more.<\/p>\n<p class=\"FORMAT-BODY\">The disruptions extend not just to input pricing, but also input availability. In January, 28% of producers responding to the survey said they have had difficulty purchasing crop inputs from suppliers for the 2022 crop season. In a follow-up question posed to producers experiencing difficulty in procuring crop inputs, respondents reported difficulty in purchasing a broad spectrum of crop inputs including herbicides, insecticides, fertilizer, and farm machinery parts.<\/p>\n<p class=\"FORMAT-BODY\">Prices for nitrogen fertilizer have skyrocketed over the last year. According to USDA, anhydrous ammonia (NH<sub>3<\/sub>) prices in Illinois during January 2022 were nearly triple what they were in January 2021. While a majority (57%) of corn producers said they intend to use the same nitrogen application rate in 2022 as in 2021; nearly four out of ten (37%) said they intend to reduce their nitrogen application rate compared to last year.<\/p>\n<p>The rise in farm input costs was also the primary reason why many producers are expecting to have a larger operating loan in 2022. This month, 27% of respondents said they expect to have a larger operating loan in 2022 than a year earlier, 10 points higher than on last year\u2019s survey and 12 points higher than two years ago.<\/p>\n<p>For the second month in a row, both the short-term and long-term farmland value indices declined. The <em>Short-Term Farmland Value Index<\/em> declined 11 points to an index value of 142, while the <em>Long-Term Farmland Value Index<\/em> declined 7 points to a reading of 145 in January. Both indices have fallen about 10% compared to their fall 2021 peak values.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cRecent weakness in both indices could reflect recognition of how much farmland values have increased over the last year or more, tempering expectations for further price increases,\u201d said Mintert.<\/p>\n<p class=\"FORMAT-BODY\">Read the full <i>Ag Economy Barometer<\/i> report at <a href=\"https:\/\/purdue.ag\/agbarometer\">https:\/\/purdue.ag\/agbarometer<\/a>.
