WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. and CHICAGO \u2014 The Purdue University\/CME Group Ag Economy Barometer<\/a> improved in April up 8 points to a reading of 121; however, it remains 32% below its reading from the same time last year. Producers\u2019 perspective on current conditions and future expectations saw an uptick over the past month. The Index of Current Conditions<\/em> improved 7 points to a reading of 120 and the Index of Future Expectations<\/em> improved 9 points to a reading of 122. The Ag Economy Barometer<\/em> is calculated each month from 400 U.S. agricultural producers\u2019 responses to a telephone survey. This month\u2019s survey was conducted between April 18-22.<\/p>\n

Producer sentiment improves with strengthened commodity prices; but high cost inflation worries farmers.<\/strong> (Purdue\/CME Group Ag Economy Barometer\/James Mintert)<\/p><\/div>\n

\u201cRising prices for major commodities, especially corn and soybeans, appear to be leading the change in producers\u2019 improved financial outlook,\u201d said James Mintert<\/a>, the barometer\u2019s principal investigator and director of Purdue University\u2019s Center for Commercial Agriculture. \u201cHowever, it\u2019s hard to overstate the magnitude of the cost increases producers say they are facing.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Farm Financial Performance Index<\/em> improved to a reading of 95, up 8 points from March and 12 points higher than in January and February. As Mintert suggests, much of this could be attributed to the strengthened commodity prices. For example, Eastern Corn Belt cash prices for corn in mid-April rose more than 10% above their mid-March level while bids for fall delivery of 2022 crop corn climbed 20% over the same period. Soybean prices rose as well. Near-term delivery prices for soybeans rose about 7% from mid-March to mid-April while elevator bids for fall delivery of new crop soybeans climbed 5% over the one-month span.<\/p>\n

Even as commodity prices have strengthened, producers continue to say higher input costs are the top concern for their farming operation. In April, 42% of producers chose higher input costs<\/em> as their biggest concern, which was more than twice as many who chose government policies<\/em> (21%) or lower output prices<\/em> (19%). In April, 60% of survey respondents said they expect input prices to rise by 30% over the next 12 months. This compares to an average of 37% of respondents who said they were expecting a cost increase of this magnitude when the same question was posed in the December 2021 through March 2022 surveys.<\/p>\n

When asked specifically for their expectations for 2023 crop input prices compared to prices paid for 2022 crop inputs, 36% of respondents said they expect prices to rise 10% or more and 21% of crop producers said input price rises of 20% or more are likely. The war in Ukraine has also added a new level of uncertainty for producers. Sixty percent of survey respondents said the biggest impact of the war on U.S. agriculture will be on input prices.<\/p>\n

Crop input challenges extend beyond their inflated cost to their availability. In April, 34% of producers said they experienced some difficulty in purchasing inputs for the 2022 crop season, up from 27% in March. In a follow-up question, producers who said they had some difficulty obtaining inputs said that herbicides<\/em> (30% of respondents) were most problematic followed closely by farm machinery parts<\/em> (27%), fertilizer<\/em> (26%), and insecticides<\/em> (17%). In a related question, 11% of crop producers said they received notice an input supplier would not be able to deliver one or more crop inputs they had already purchased<\/em> for use in 2022. Of those, herbicide availability was the top problem reported.<\/p>\n

Despite an overall improved financial performance outlook, the Farm Capital Investment Index<\/em> remains at its all-time low. Supply chain problems remain a key reason many producers feel now is not a good time for making large investments in their farming operation. For example, just over 40% of producers said their farm machinery purchase plans were impacted by low machinery inventories. The rising cost of all inputs, including machinery, buildings, and grain bins, is likely another factor causing producers to say now is not a good time for large investments.<\/p>\n
