sentiment hit a post pandemic high in September, according to the <a target="_blank" href="https://web.archive.org/web/20201022072532/https://c212.net/c/link/?t=0&l=en&o=2939895-1&h=4286050900&u=https%3A%2F%2Fag.purdue.edu%2Fcommercialag%2Fageconomybarometer%2F&a=Purdue+University%2FCME+Group+Ag+Economy+Barometer" rel="nofollow"><span class="xn-org">Purdue University</span>/CME Group Ag Economy Barometer</a>. The index rose to a reading of 156, up 12 points from August and up 60 points from its 2020 low in April. The <i>Current Conditions Index </i>also saw an uptick, jumping 18 points to a reading of 142 in September, and the <i>Future Expectations Index</i> rose 9 points to a reading of 163. The <i>Ag Economy Barometer</i> is based on survey responses from 400 U.S. agricultural producers and was conducted between <span class="xn-chron">September 21-25, 2020</span>.</p> <p>This past month marked key changes in the agricultural economy. On <span class="xn-chron">September 18</span>, USDA announced a second round of Coronavirus Food Assistance Program (CFAP 2) payments for U.S. agricultural producers and fall-harvested crop prices continued to strengthen considerably since late summer. </p> <p>"In September, producers were more optimistic about both current conditions and the future for agriculture than they've been since the pandemic began," said <a target="_blank" href="https://web.archive.org/web/20201022072532/https://c212.net/c/link/?t=0&l=en&o=2939895-1&h=709510703&u=https%3A%2F%2Fag.purdue.edu%2Fcommercialag%2Fageconomybarometer%2Fteam%2Fjim-mintert%2F&a=James+Mintert" rel="nofollow"><span class="xn-person">James Mintert</span></a>, the barometer's principal investigator and director of <span class="xn-org">Purdue University's</span> Center for Commercial Agriculture. "A continued crop price rally and the announcement of USDA's Coronavirus Food Assistance Program (CFAP 2) payments appear to be fueling much of their optimism."</p> <p>However, that optimism did not completely carry over into perspectives toward the future of U.S. agriculture's trade prospects. In September, 58 percent of respondents said they expect agriculture exports to increase over the next 5 years, down from 67 percent who felt that way in August. The shift was primarily due to more producers indicating they expect exports to remain about the same in the future, rather than increase. In a related question, producers were asked whether they expect <span class="xn-location">China</span> to fulfill the food and agricultural import requirements established in the Phase One trade agreement signed earlier this year. Farmers' opinions were split, with less than half (47%) of respondents indicating they expect <span class="xn-location">China</span> to fulfill its commitment to import food and ag products from the U.S.</p> <p>Given its increased attention in recent years, this month, producers were asked several questions about their intentions to use fall cover crops. Nearly 4 out of 10 corn/soybean producers in the September survey said they intend to plant at least some cover crops in fall 2020. As for their acreage intentions, over half (52%) said that they planned to plant cover crops on one-third or less of their corn/soybean acreage, 21% said they intend to plant between one-third to as much as two-thirds, and 27% intend to plant cover crops on more than two-thirds. Farmers who intend to plant cover crops this fall overwhelmingly (79%) said their primary reason for doing so was to improve soil health and crop yields, while just 1% of respondents said it was because of the availability of cost-share funds.</p> <p>With many educational events and programs transitioning to online delivery, this month farmers were asked whether they have attended an online program and, if so, what aspects they liked and disliked. Twenty-two percent of respondents to the September survey said they attended an online educational program or field day this year. Respondents said they liked the flexible timing of attending and viewing the programs (27%) and the ability to choose topics of interest (21%). However, respondents overwhelmingly pointed to the lack of interaction with other attendees (40%), poor broadband connection (18%), and difficulty in asking questions (17%) as the top reasons they disliked these programs.</p> <p>Read the full Ag Economy Barometer report at <a target="_blank" href="https://web.archive.org/web/20201022072532/https://c212.net/c/link/?t=0&l=en&o=2939895-1&h=248445330&u=https%3A%2F%2Fpurdue.ag%2Fagbarometer&a=https%3A%2F%2Fpurdue.ag%2Fagbarometer" rel="nofollow">https://purdue.ag/agbarometer</a>.
