Producers hold a more pessimistic view of their own farms&#8217; financial situations than they do of the agricultural economy. For example, after declining significantly in April, the number of producers expecting their farm operations to be worse off financially a year ahead moved higher, increasing from 27 percent in April to 37 percent in June (Figure 4). Standing in contrast with the pessimism regarding their own farms\u2019 financial situations were respondents\u2019 views toward the financial health of the broad agricultural economy. As shown in Figure 5, the share of respondents expecting \u201cbad times\u201d financially over the next 12\u00a0months for the agricultural economy actually trended lower over the same time period, declining from 75 percent in April to 65 percent in June. Reasons behind this difference in perspective are not clear, but if it continues it could be an indication that agricultural producers plan to emphasize controlling costs, perhaps by reducing expenditures.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-502 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/ag.purdue.edu\/commercialag\/ageconomybarometer\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/Figure4.png\" alt=\"Figure 4.

Much of the attention focused around waning El Ni\u00f1o conditions and anticipated La Ni\u00f1a conditions. Additionally, the possibility of dry, warm conditions in the Midwest this summer has been cited as a source of recent strength in grain and oilseed prices. Given the heightened interest in possible weather impacts on production in 2016, several questions were posed to measure producer opinions regarding weather risks\u2019 impact on their farm operations.<\/p>\n<p>On the June survey, agricultural producers were asked about the likelihood of widespread, adverse impacts on 2016 crop yields associated with extreme weather events. Responses were scaled from 1 to 9, with 1 being \u201cvery unlikely\u201d and 9 being \u201cvery likely\u201d (Figure 4).\u00a0 Interestingly, 44 percent of survey respondents reported that they felt widespread, adverse impacts on crop yields this year were at least somewhat likely (rating 6-9).<\/p>\n<p>Producers were also asked if they expected extreme weather events \u2013 such as those associated with El Ni\u00f1o or La Ni\u00f1a \u2013 to adversely impact crop yields in their local area over the next 12 months. When asked to focus on their local area, just over half of survey respondents (53 percent) reported that they expect extreme weather to reduce crop yields in 2016. To provide a comparison to last year, 47 percent of survey respondents indicated that extreme weather events adversely impacted local crop yields in 2015. In short, survey results suggest that nearly half of producers surveyed expect extreme weather this summer to impact U.S. crop yields and that there is a modest uptick in concerns that severe weather will affect yields on their own farms compared to last year.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, we also asked producers if they had changed their farms&#8217; marketing plans as a result of anticipated or forecast extreme weather events in the upcoming 12\u00a0months. Although the majority of respondents (71 percent) reported they had not made changes, it was notable that nearly 30 percent of respondents reported making some changes in their marketing plans because of concerns about extreme weather.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-504 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/ag.purdue.edu\/commercialag\/ageconomybarometer\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/Figure6.png\" alt=\"Figure 6.
