Farmers are still concerned about some key policy issues following the election, according to the latest Purdue University/CME Group Ag Economy Barometer.
Purdue University’s Jim Mintert says farmers expressed concern about environmental regulations, higher income and estate taxes, farm income safety net, and support of the ethanol industry.
“Across the board, people are more concerned about all of those issues following the election than they were before,” he says.
The new administration has made it clear climate and environmental issues are a priority.
