Farmer sentiment weakened in June as the Purdue University-CME Group Ag Economy Barometer fell to 146, down from 158 a month earlier. The shift in farmer sentiment was primarily attributable to a change in producer expectations for the future as the Index of Future Expectations dipped 18 points to 146. At the same time, there was little change in the Current Conditions Index, which fell just 2 points to 144. Shifting perceptions regarding the agricultural export outlook appeared to be a key reason behind producers’ weaker outlook, as fewer producers expressed optimism about future ag exports. Despite this month’s declines, all three indices remained well above year-ago levels.  (ICE HOUSTON)
