U.S. farmers\u2019 sentiment changed very little in December compared to the preceding month. The\u00a0Purdue University-CME Group Ag Economy Barometer\u00a0<\/em>recorded a reading of 114, just one point lower than a month earlier. Both sub-indices of the barometer, the\u00a0Index of Current Conditions<\/em>\u00a0and the\u00a0Index of Future Expectations<\/em>, also fell one point below their respective November readings. The\u00a0Current Conditions Index<\/em>\u00a0for December was 112, while the\u00a0Future Expectations Index<\/em>\u00a0was 115. All three indices were weaker than in December 2022, with the Ag Economy Barometer falling 10% below a year earlier.\u00a0\u00a0Additionally, the current and future indices were 17% and 6%, respectively, below last year. Looking ahead to 2024, U.S. farmers inflation expectations are markedly lower than they were at the start of 2023. The December\u00a0Ag Economy Barometer<\/em>\u00a0survey was conducted from December 4-8, 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In December, farmers perceived continued improvement in their farms\u2019 financial performance as the Farm Financial Performance Index rose by 2 points compared to a month earlier. Since late summer, the index has climbed 11 points and was 21 points higher than in May when the index reached its low point for the year. This month\u2019s improvement in the financial performance index coincided with USDA\u2019s upward revision in late November of their forecast for 2023 net farm income. Although USDA still forecasts a sharp drop in net farm income from 2022\u2019s record high level, the November estimate for 2023\u2019s inflation-adjusted net farm income was $10 billion higher than the forecast USDA issued on August 31.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The\u00a0Farm Capital Investment Index<\/em>\u00a0was virtually unchanged in December, holding at a reading of 43, just one point above the previous month. Respondents who said that now is a good time to make large investments in their farm operation pointed to \u201chigher dealer inventories\u201d and \u201cstrong cash flows\u201d as key factors to support this perspective. Although the percentage of respondents choosing \u201cstrong cash flows\u201d as a reason to invest rebounded from last month, it remained less popular than in July and August. On the other hand, the percentage of producers in December citing \u201chigher dealer inventories\u201d as a primary reason to invest was more than double the percentage who felt that way in July.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

High input costs continue to be the primary source of concern for U.S. farmers. However, over the course of the year, there was a marked shift regarding producers\u2019 apprehensions. In January, only 16% of farmers in the barometer survey pointed to the risk of \u201clower crop and\/or livestock prices\u201d as one of their biggest concerns. This changed as 2023 unfolded, and by December, just over one-fourth of respondents (26%) said the risk of lower prices for crops and livestock was a big concern. The other major concern for the upcoming year cited by producers was \u201crising interest rates,\u201d chosen this month by 24% of survey respondents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The December survey queried farmers regarding their expectations for both consumer inflation and prime interest rates in the upcoming year. Producers\u2019 inflation expectations have moderated since December 2022. A year ago, 50% of the producers anticipated consumer inflation in the upcoming year to be 6% or higher, with just 13% indicating they expected inflation to be less than 3%. Those results sharply contrast with responses received this December. In this year\u2019s survey, 13% of producers said they expect inflation in the upcoming year to be 6% or higher with 70% of respondents looking for inflation in 2024 to be less than 4%. Concerning interest rates, about one-third (34%) of respondents said they look for interest rates to decline in the upcoming year, with an additional 22% expecting the prime rate to remain unchanged in the upcoming year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Figure
Figure 6.<\/strong> Short-Term Farmland Value Expectations Index, January 2018-November 2023.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Both the long and short-run farmland value indices experienced moderate declines in December. The\u00a0Short-Term Farmland Value Index<\/em>\u00a0fell 4 points to a reading of 121 while the long-term index declined 2 points to 149. Compared to a year ago, the short-term index was down 3 points while the long-term index was 9 points higher than in December 2022. The moderation in producers\u2019 interest rate expectations since late 2022 could help explain the relative improvement in the long-term farmland value index.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wrapping Up<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Farmer sentiment bottomed out in September and recovered modestly this fall as the\u00a0Ag Economy Barometer<\/em>\u00a0closed out the year with an index reading of 114. The sentiment improvement was driven primarily by farmers\u2019 improved perception of current conditions on their farms as the Current Conditions Index rose 14% from September to December. At year-end, U.S. farmers still pointed to input costs as their top concern for the year ahead, but the percentage of farmers choosing the risk of lower crop and\/or livestock prices rose from just 16% in January to 26% in December. Inflation expectations among farmers moderated during 2023. Compared to a year earlier, far fewer producers expect inflation to exceed 6% in the new year, and a large majority look for inflation to average less than 4% in 2024. Finally, in December, farmers expressed a somewhat more sanguine view of interest rates than they did in late 2022 with just over one-third of survey respondents indicating they expect prime interest rates to decline in 2024.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
