Purdue University/CME Group Ag Economy Barometer: U.S. Farmers Retain Optimistic Outlook For 2025 Despite Ag Trade Uncertainty

Date 04/02/2025

U.S. farmers began 2025 with an optimistic outlook, as the January Purdue University/CME Group Ag Economy Barometer rose 5 points from the previous month to a reading of 141. This increase was driven by a 9-point growth in the Current Conditions Index and a 3-point rise in the Future Expectations Index. The improvement in sentiment was linked to higher crop prices between December and mid-January and fewer producers citing crop and livestock prices as a top concern. For instance, Eastern Corn Belt prices for near-term delivery of corn and soybeans rose by 9% and 5%, respectively, during that period. While farmers' views of current conditions improved, optimism about the future remained even stronger, with the Future Expectations Index exceeding the Current Conditions Index by 47 points. This month's survey was conducted between Jan. 13-17.
