The&nbsp;<em>Current Conditions Index<\/em>&nbsp;fell 13 points to a reading of 108. The&nbsp;<em>Future Expectations Index<\/em>&nbsp;also declined, down 5 points in August to a reading of 119. This month\u2019s&nbsp;<em>Ag Economy Barometer<\/em>&nbsp;survey was conducted from August 14-18, 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cRising interest rates and concerns about high input prices continue to put downward pressure on producer sentiment,\u201d said&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/ag.purdue.edu\/commercialag\/ageconomybarometer\/team\/jim-mintert\/\">James Mintert<\/a>, the barometer\u2019s principal investigator and director of Purdue University\u2019s Center for Commercial Agriculture. \u201cThis month over half (60%) of the producers we surveyed said they expect interest rates to rise in the upcoming year.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When asked about their top concerns for their farming operations in the next 12 months, producers continue to point to higher input prices (34% of respondents) and rising interest rates (24% of respondents). Even though crop prices weakened significantly this summer, only one in five producers (20% of respondents) chose declining commodity prices as one of their top concerns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The&nbsp;<em>Farm Capital Investment Index<\/em>&nbsp;was lower this month, falling 8 points to a reading of 37. Increasing prices for farm machinery and new construction along with rising interest rates continue to be the two most commonly cited reasons for their negative view. Meanwhile, producers\u2019 rating of farm financial conditions changed little in August, as the&nbsp;<em>Farm Financial Performance Index<\/em>&nbsp;declined just one point to a reading of 86.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Despite increasing concerns about rising interest rates, producers remain cautiously optimistic about farmland values. The&nbsp;<em>Short-Term Farmland Values Expectation Index<\/em>&nbsp;rose one point to 126, while the long-term index was unchanged at a reading of 151. Four out of ten respondents (39%) said they expect farmland values to rise over the next year, while 13% said they look for values to decline in the next year. When asked about their longer-term view of farmland values, six out of ten (63%) of respondents said they expect values to rise over the next five years, while 12% said they expect values to fall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To better understand the usage of carbon contracts in row-crop agriculture, corn and soybean growers were asked about the types of conversations they have had with those companies. In the August survey, 6% of corn and soybean growers said they have engaged in discussions with companies about receiving payments to capture carbon on their farms, while just 2% said they had signed a carbon contract. Nearly half (47%) of the farms who discussed contract terms with a company said they were offered a payment rate of $10 to $20 per metric ton of carbon captured. Among the farms who engaged in discussions, but chose not to sign a carbon contract, half said it was because the payment level was too low.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Read the full&nbsp;<em>Ag Economy Barometer<\/em>&nbsp;report at&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/purdue.ag\/agbarometer\">https:\/\/purdue.ag\/agbarometer<\/a>.
