Ag Economic Summary • Agricultural production and consumption has grown rapidly over the past several years. – But when production exceeds consumption, prices fall. • Crop revenues peaked in 2012 -13, while livestock revenues crested in 2014 -15, leading to record farm incomes. • Since then net farm income has been cut in half. – While the percentage loss in substantial, net farm income remains above levels from the early 2000’s. • Farmers and ranchers have partially compensated for the loss in income by taking on higher debt loads. – Farm and ranch balance sheets are eroding and financial stress is building for some producers, but the financial issues are not as severe as during the 1980’s. • The squeeze is on farm finances and for some producers, the squeeze may be too much.
