Farmer sentiment dips in February<\/strong> (Purdue\/CME Group Ag Economy Barometer\/James Mintert).<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind.\u00a0and CHICAGO\u00a0\u2014T<\/a>he\u00a0Purdue University\/CME Group Ag Economy Barometer<\/a>\u00a0dipped 5 points to a reading of 125 in February. Farmers\u2019 perspectives regarding both current conditions on their farms and their expectations for the future also weakened. The\u00a0Index of Current Conditions<\/em>fell 2 points to 134 and the\u00a0Index of Future Expectations<\/em>\u00a0declined 6 points to 121. The\u00a0Ag Economy Barometer<\/em>\u00a0is calculated each month from 400 U.S. agricultural producers\u2019 responses to a telephone survey. This month\u2019s survey was conducted between February 13-17.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIncreased concern over the risk of falling output prices, rising interest rates, and uncertainty over the future growth of U.S. agricultural exports is weighing on producers\u2019 minds,\u201d said James Mintert<\/a>, the barometer\u2019s principal investigator and director of Purdue University\u2019s Center for Commercial Agriculture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Producers\u2019 expectations for their farms\u2019 financial performance in 2023 compared to 2022 weakened in February. The Farm Financial Performance Index<\/em> declined 7 points to a reading of 86. Farmers continue to point to concerns about higher input costs (38% of respondents), rising interest rates (24% of respondents), and lower output prices (18% of respondents), as their biggest concern for the year ahead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Agricultural exports have been a key source of growth for U.S. agriculture for decades. Beginning in 2019, the Ag Economy Barometer<\/em> survey routinely included a question asking producers about their expectations for agricultural exports in the upcoming 5 years. Since peaking in 2020, when just over 70% of respondents said they expected exports to increase in the upcoming 5 years, the percentage of farmers looking for exports to grow over time has drifted lower. In February, just 33% of survey respondents said they expect exports to increase, which leads Mintert to suggest that a lack of confidence in future agricultural export growth is contributing to weakened sentiment among producers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite strong farm income, the February reading of the Farm Capital Investment Index<\/em> changed little, rising one point to a reading of 43. This month, 72% of producers said it is a \u201cbad time\u201d to make large investments in their farming operation, while just 15% reported it is a \u201cgood time\u201d to make such investments. The disparity between producers\u2019 responses to the question and actual farm equipment sales continues to be focused on costs. Of those who said now is a \u201cbad time\u201d to make large investments, 45% of respondents said it was because of an increase in prices for farm machinery and new construction, while 27% of respondents said it was because of \u201crising interest rates.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Producers\u2019 expectations for short-term and long-term farmland values fell in February but remain positive. The Short-Term Farmland Value Index<\/em> declined one point to 119 while the Long-Term Farmland Value Index<\/em>dropped 5 points to 137. Although both indices remain above 100, indicating a positive outlook on farmland values, the percentage of producers who said they expect values to decline over the next 5 years reached 19% this month, the highest percentage since this question was first routinely included in barometer surveys in 2019. Still, over half (56%) of respondents expect values 5 years from now to be higher than today. This month, just 33% of respondents said they expect values to rise in the next 12 months, while 14% said they expect values to weaken.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Each February, the barometer survey includes a question focused on farm growth, asking respondents about the annual growth rate they expect for their farm over the next 5 years. This year 49% of respondents said their farm either had \u201cNo plans to grow\u201d (33%) or \u201cPlan to exit or retire\u201d (16%). Of those respondents who expect their farms to grow, 19% expect it to grow by \u201cLess than 5% annually\u201d and 22% said they expect it to grow by \u201c5 to 10% annually.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Leasing of farmland for solar energy production is a hot topic in many parts of the U.S. Since the Spring of 2021, the barometer survey has periodically included questions about the discussions that farmers are having with solar companies. In both the January and February 2023 surveys, just over 10% of respondents said they had discussed a solar lease with a company. Of those who indicated they had been in discussions, nearly half (48%) of respondents said they were offered a lease rate above $1,000 per acre, up from a low of 27% and a high of 35% in previous surveys. This month\u2019s survey findings suggest companies have started to increase the lease rates they are willing to pay. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
