Some farmers are less optimistic about the future of the ag economy, according to the latest Purdue University/CME Group Ag Economy Barometer.

“The Index of Current Conditions basically held at its record level and if you think about what’s taking place in agriculture right now with the strength in commodity prices and strength in farm incomes that makes a lot of sense,” he says.
