Farmer sentiment hit a post pandemic high in September, according to the Purdue University/CME Group Ag Economy Barometer.

Increases in the barometer and its two sub-indices marked the most positive readings since February 2020 due to rally from commodity prices.

Farmer sentiment was virtually unchanged in July in comparison to a month earlier, according to the Purdue University/CME Group Ag Economy Barometer.

Farmer sentiment improved slightly in May after falling sharply in both March and April, according to the Purdue University/CME Group Ag Economy Barometer.

Agricultural producer sentiment held steady in November with producers remaining optimistic about the state of the agricultural economy.

The sentiment improved as producers became more optimistic about current and future conditions, partially due to the U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement.
