Outlook for Indiana Agriculture 2010
“The Party’s Over.” This could be the theme for the 2010 Indiana Outlook as the long arm of recession has extended to almost all major farm enterprises. The animals sector had already been suffering with large losses, and those will continue into early 2010 for pork and milk producers. Now, crop producers’ margins have collapsed as well for the 2009 crops and the outlook for 2010 is just as weak. If you are looking for good news it is that the Indiana farm sector had two good income years in 2007 and 2008, and a huge record income of $3.2 billion in 2008. However, Purdue estimates are for income to fade in both 2009 and 2010 back to levels more similar to the late 1990s and early 2000s when margins were tight.
