QUEEN CREEK, Arizona (RFD NEWS) — RealAgristudies has released its latest Canadian Farmer Sentiment Index, showing growing concern across the agriculture industry as producers continue facing financial and economic pressure.
Host of RealAg Radio Shaun Haney joined us on Tuesday’s Market Day Report to discuss the latest survey findings.
The report shows 59 percent of farmers believe agriculture is approaching a structural breaking point, highlighting concern about the long-term direction of the industry.
During his conversation with RFD News, Haney also discussed the financial strain many producers are experiencing, with only 14 percent of farmers saying they are financially better off than a year ago while 46 percent say they are worse off.
The discussion additionally focused on how more farmers are turning toward off-farm income and becoming increasingly cautious about investments as uncertainty continues through the rest of 2026.
Higher livestock prices reflect resilient demand, even as disease and herd shifts reshape 2026 supply expectations.
