(Purdue\/CME Group Ag Economy Barometer\/James Mintert)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"> \u201cThis year farmers have faced an extremely wet planting season and uncertainty surrounding trade discussions, however, a crop price rally coupled with USDA\u2019s announcement of its 2019 MFP program and Congress\u2019 passage of the Disaster Aid Bill made farmers more optimistic,\u201d said <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. \u201cWhile this combination provided a boost to a struggling ag economy, it remains a challenging economic environment for farmers.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"> In June, the prospect of large prevented plantings, along with concerns that delayed planting of corn and soybeans would impact yields, led USDA to forecast tighter supplies than previously expected. Supply concerns were a key factor behind a rally in corn and soybean prices that took place from mid-May to mid-June when the June barometer survey was conducted. For example, nearby CBOT corn futures prices were up 28 percent and nearby CBOT soybean futures prices were up 12 percent, both compared to their mid-May lows. The USDA also announced it would provide another round of MFP payments on planted acres of a large number of covered crops, including corn and soybeans. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"> In light of the announcement and the historic corn and soybean planting delays this spring, producers who planted corn or soybeans in 2018 were asked whether the MFP announcement affected their decision to take or not take a prevented planting payment this year. Ten percent of corn and soybean producers said the announcement did impact their prevented planting decision making and one out of five farmers within that group said they intended to plant more corn, while one out of ten farmers within that group said they intended to plant more soybeans, because of the MFP program. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">  One of the big question marks in the 2019 outlook is how many acres will be enrolled in Federal Crop Insurance\u2019s prevented planting program. Nearly one-third (32 percent) of corn\/soybean farmers in the survey said they intended to take prevented planting payments on some of their corn acres and of those who intend to take a prevented planting payment, just over half (51 percent) said they intend to take prevented planting on more than 15 percent of their intended corn acreage. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">  Lastly, farmers were slightly more optimistic regarding the resolution and impact of the ongoing trade dispute with China. From March through May, the percentage of producers expecting a beneficial outcome to the trade dispute declined from 77 percent to 65 percent; yet, on the June survey, that percentage rose slightly to 69 percent. Farmers were also asked whether they believe the dispute will be resolved by September 1. In mid-June, 32 percent of producers expected it to be settled by early September, whereas just 20 percent expected the dispute to be settled by July 1 when this question was posed in mid-May. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">  Read the full June Ag Economy Barometer report at <a href=\"https:\/\/purdue.ag\/agbarometer\">https:\/\/purdue.ag\/agbarometer<\/a>.
