Farmer sentiment remained weak in June as the Purdue University-CME Group Ag Economy Barometer fell to a reading of 97, 2 points below its May reading.

Dr Michael Langemeier is Associate Director at the Purdue Center for Commercial Agriculture. He spoke with RFD Radio Tuesday and says June’s survey was conducted from June 13-through-17.

The Purdue University-CME Group Ag Economy Barometer sentiment index is calculated each month from 400 U.S. agricultural producers’ responses to a telephone survey.
