Even with post-election optimism, the latest Ag Econ Barometer showed a slight drop in farmer sentiment

“People remain optimistic about the future”

The latest Ag Economy Barometer has been released showing a slight drop in farmer sentiment.

Farmer sentiment fell by 9 points to 136. Despite the decline in numbers, producers still reported post-election optimism about the future.

Farmers’ long-term outlooks over the next five years were far more optimistic than their outlooks over the next twelve months.

Dr. Jim Mintert with Purdue University spoke with RFD-TV’s own Suzanne Alexander on key factors contributing to the sentiment, international trade, and other policy shifts under the new administration.
