WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. \u2014 Farmer sentiment jumped again in November, with the\u00a0Purdue University\/CME Group Ag Economy Barometer<\/a> climbing 30 points to a reading of 145.

Farmer sentiment following the U.S. election reaches highest levels since May 2021.<\/strong> (Purdue University\/CME Group Ag Economy Barometer\/James Mintert)<\/p><\/div>\n

The November sentiment boost reflects growing optimism about a more favorable regulatory and tax environment for agriculture following the U.S. election. This month\u2019s survey was conducted from Nov. 11-15, 2024.<\/p>\n

In November\u2019s survey, farmers reported a notably more positive outlook for their operations and the broader agricultural economy. The percentage of producers expecting their farm\u2019s financial performance to improve over the next year climbed to 33%, up from 19% in October. Optimism about the U.S. agricultural sector also surged, with 34% of farmers anticipating good times financially in the next 12 months, more than double October\u2019s 15%.<\/p>\n

Looking ahead five years, over half of November\u2019s respondents (52%) predicted widespread prosperity for U.S. agriculture, a noticeable increase from 34% the previous month. This growing confidence was also reflected in farmers\u2019 investment plans, as 22% reported that it\u2019s a good time for large capital investments, compared to 15% in October.<\/p>\n

Farmers\u2019 improved sentiment also carried over to their investment outlook, as the Farm Capital Investment Index rose 13 points in November to a reading of 55 \u2014 the highest level since May 2021. The change in investment sentiment was partly driven by expectations of stronger financial performance in 2025 compared to 2024. For the second consecutive month, the percentage of producers expecting better financial conditions in the year ahead increased, climbing to 25% in November from 16% in October. This positive shift drove the Farm Financial Performance Index up to 106, marking a 16-point increase from October and a substantial 38-point jump since September.<\/p>\n

Following the improvements in the short-term and long-term farmland value indices in October\u2019s survey, both indices saw modest declines in November. The Short-Term Farmland Value Expectations Index dropped by 5 points, while the Long-Term Farmland Value Expectations Index decreased by 3 points. Despite these small decreases, the indices remained relatively strong, with the short-term index at 115 and the long-term index at 156.<\/p>\n

To gain insight into how farmers\u2019 sentiment might align with potential policy shifts following a change in presidential administrations, barometer surveys included several policy-related questions before and after the 2020 and 2024 elections.<\/p>\n

In the wake of the 2024 election, farmers\u2019 views on environmental regulations experienced a sharp reversal. In October, 41% of respondents anticipated a more restrictive regulatory environment over the next five years, while only 10% expected less restrictive regulations. However, the November survey saw a dramatic shift, with just 9% of surveyed farmers expecting stricter regulations and 55% predicting a more favorable, less restrictive regulatory landscape.<\/p>\n

There was a modest shift from October to November 2024 when asked about tax expectations, but a notable contrast with responses following the 2020 election. In November 2024, more than half (55%) of respondents expected income tax rates to remain unchanged, compared to just 25% in 2020. Similarly, 57% of respondents in the November survey anticipated estate tax rates to stay the same over the next five years, a large increase from 28% in November 2020.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhile optimism is up, farmers are also expressing concerns about the potential risks to agricultural trade, with many fearing that a trade war could significantly impact U.S. exports,\u201d said James Mintert<\/a>, the barometer\u2019s principal investigator and director of Purdue University\u2019s Center for Commercial Agriculture<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Forty-two percent of November\u2019s survey respondents indicated they believe it is \u201clikely\u201d or \u201cvery likely\u201d that U.S. agriculture could face a \u201ctrade war,\u201d potentially leading to a significant decline in agricultural exports.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs we move into 2025, farmers\u2019 outlook for agriculture remains positive, but they are closely monitoring the evolving political landscape and its potential impact on both policy and international trade,\u201d Mintert said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
