The barometer has jumped 14 points since December 2017. (Purdue\/CME Group Ag Economy Barometer\/David Widmar)<\/em><\/p><\/div>\n<p>The barometer read 140 in February, a 5-point increase from January\u2019s reading of 135. The increases mark a strong 14-point jump since December. February also marked the second-highest barometer reading since data collection began in 2015.<\/p>\n<p>The barometer is based on a monthly survey of 400 U.S. agricultural producers.<\/p>\n<p>The drivers of sentiment have shifted since the barometer hit a survey high of more than 150 points back in January 2017, said <a href=\"https:\/\/ag.purdue.edu\/commercialag\/Pages\/Faculty-Staff\/Mintert.aspx\">James Mintert<\/a>, the barometer\u2019s principal investigator and director of Purdue University\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/ag.purdue.edu\/commercialag\/Pages\/default.aspx\">Center for Commercial Agriculture<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn early 2017, producer sentiment was largely driven by an uptick in the future-looking measure of producer sentiment, the Index of Future Expectations,\u201d he said. \u201cMore recently, the barometer\u2019s upturn has been driven in part by a shift toward more positive sentiment regarding current farm financial conditions, as measured by the Index of Current Conditions.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In the February survey, researchers asked agricultural producers about the likelihood of the U.S. withdrawing from NAFTA. On a scale of 1-9, the most common response at 39 percent was a neutral rating of 5, while 34 percent of respondents said they thought a U.S. NAFTA withdrawal was likely (a rating of 6 or higher), and 29 percent thought withdrawal was unlikely (a rating of 4 or lower).<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTaken as a whole, the February survey indicates that producers are really uncertain about about the future of NAFTA,\u201d Mintert said. \u201cBut despite the uncertainty surrounding NAFTA, producers remain optimistic about the future of U.S. agricultural exports,\u201d Mintert said.<\/p>\n<p>A full 50 percent of responding producers said they expect U.S. agricultural exports to increase over the next five years, while another 37 percent said they expect exports to remain about the same. Only 13 percent said they expect U.S. agricultural exports to be lower five years from now.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to trade, February\u2019s survey asked producers about their expectations for corn and soybean production in the 2018 cropping year. A majority \u2013 71 percent \u2013 said soybeans would be more profitable than corn, up 4 percent from the number of respondents who expected soybeans to be more profitable when surveyed in February 2017.<\/p>\n<p>Despite expectations that soybeans will be more profitable, 81 percent of those surveyed said they expect their soybean acreage in 2018 will be unchanged. Only 10 percent expect to plant more soybeans than a year earlier. This differs from the February 2017 survey, when 18 percent of producers reported they expected to increase their soybean acreage.<\/p>\n<p>For more on producers\u2019 trade expectations and planting intentions, read the full February Ag Economy Barometer report at <a href=\"http:\/\/purdue.edu\/agbarometer\">http:\/\/purdue.edu\/agbarometer<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The Ag Economy Barometer, Index of Current Conditions and Index of Future Expectations are available on the Bloomberg Terminal under the following ticker symbols: AGECBARO, AGECCURC and AGECFTEX.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>About the Purdue University Center for Commercial Agriculture<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/ag.purdue.edu\/commercialag\/Pages\/default.aspx\">Center for Commercial Agriculture<\/a> was founded in 2011 to provide professional development and educational programs for farmers.
