(Purdue\/CME Group Ag Economy Barometer\/David Widmar)<\/em><\/p><\/div>\n<p>The January barometer read 135, up 9 points from December\u2019s 126. The uptick was driven by increases in both the Index of Current Conditions, which climbed 5 points to 144, and the Index of Future Expectations, which climbed 11 points to 131.This marks the largest one-month improvement in future expectations since January 2017.<\/p>\n<p>The barometer is based on a monthly survey of 400 agricultural producers from across the U.S. Each month, survey respondents are asked whether their farm operations are financially better off, worse off, or about the same. In January, 43 percent said their farms were financially worse off than a year ago, while 14 percent said their farms were financially better off.According to James Mintert, director of Purdue University\u2019s Center for Commercial Agriculture and the barometer\u2019s principal investigator, the 43 percent number is significant.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTo help put January\u2019s responses in perspective, the percentage of farmers who felt their operations were financially worse off reached a high of 81 in August 2016,\u201d he said. \u201cSince April 2017, the share reporting that their farms were financially worse off has consistently fallen below 50 percent. The reduction has been an important driver of the ongoing improvement in the Index of Current Conditions.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Another potential driver of producer sentiment in January was the passage of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017. Surveyed producers were asked to rate the likely impact on their farming operations, as well as their families\u2019 tax burdens. Nearly half of all producers said they expect the tax bill to be beneficial to their operations. Conversely, 19 percent said they expect the tax bill to have a negative impact on their farming operations. The remaining 35 percent gave a neutral response.<\/p>\n<p>When it came to producers\u2019 expectations for their families\u2019 tax burdens, 43 percent said they expect a decline, 18 percent expect an increase, and 40 percent said they expect their families\u2019 tax burdens to stay about the same.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s possible the 40 percent of respondents expecting no changes in their taxes and the 35 percent who provided a neutral rating could reflect uncertainty regarding the specific content of the tax bill and the fact that IRS regulations implementing the tax bill have yet to be issued,\u201d Mintert said.<\/p>\n<p>Each quarter, a parallel survey gauges the sentiment of 100 agricultural thought leaders. Sentiment among thought leaders declined sharply from October\u2019s survey, falling from 152 to 127. The decline in agricultural thought leaders\u2019s sentiment was driven in part by their more negative perspective on current conditions than they had last fall.<\/p>\n<p>Read the full January Ag Economy Barometer and Ag Thought Leaders Survey report at purdue.edu\/agbarometer.<\/p>\n<p>The quarterly Ag Economy Barometer webinar will be Feb. 8 at 1:30 p.m. Barometer researchers will discuss the drivers of sentiment.
