Iowa Corn Honors Senator Annette Sweeney and House Majority Leader Matt Windschitl with 2024 Friends of Iowa Corn Award

Iowa Corn is pleased to announce the recipients of the 2024 Friends of Iowa Corn Award. This annual recognition is bestowed upon individuals who have shown exceptional support for the Iowa Corn Growers Association (ICGA) priorities and Iowa’s corn farmers. This year, we proudly honor Senator Annette Sweeney and House Majority Leader Matt Windschitl for their unwavering dedication to the corn industry and support of farmers across the state.

Over the past two years, the corn checkoff has faced significant challenges. However, with the steadfast support of our allies, we have successfully defended its integrity. Senator Sweeney and Majority Leader Windschitl have played instrumental roles in these efforts, standing shoulder to shoulder with the Iowa Corn Growers Association to safeguard the interests of our hardworking farmers.

Senator Annette Sweeney has long been a devoted advocate for Iowa's corn growers. Her deep connection to corn, which predates her tenure in the state legislature, is evident through her active membership in the ICGA and her involvement in various Iowa Corn committees. Senator Sweeney's strong commitment to agriculture has always shone through, and her unwavering support was particularly evident during a critical committee vote aimed at undermining the corn checkoff. Sweeney's stance was pivotal in preserving the checkoff, and her behind-the-scenes efforts during the last two legislative sessions have been crucial in ensuring the checkoff's continued success.

House Majority Leader Matt Windschitl was also recognized for his invaluable role in protecting the checkoff during the legislative session. While not always in the spotlight, Majority Leader Windschitl's leadership behind the scenes has been vital to our achievements. His support was also instrumental in the passage of the Biofuels Access Bill in 2022, a significant milestone for corn farmers.

Both Senator Sweeney and Majority Leader Windschitl have consistently demonstrated their unwavering commitment to Iowa Corn and ICGA priorities. At the local level, they remain actively engaged with their local corn board members and directors, further solidifying their roles as true partners in our mission. The remarkable efforts of Senator Sweeney and Majority Leader Windschitl to support Iowa Corn have not gone unnoticed and we appreciate all they do as friends of Iowa Corn. We extend our heartfelt thanks to them for their exceptional dedication to Iowa agriculture and congratulate them on this prestigious achievement.

Weakening farm income prospects weigh on farmer sentiment

The August Purdue University/CME Group Ag Economy Barometer dropped 13 points from July to a reading of 100, echoing levels seen from fall 2015 to winter 2016 during the early stages of a significant downturn in the U.S. farm economy. The Index of Current Conditions also dropped 17 points to 83, while the Index of Future Expectations decreased by 11 points to 108. Weakening farm income prospects weighed on farmers’ sentiment as the outlook for a bountiful fall harvest was more than offset by declining crop prices. This month’s survey was conducted from Aug. 12-16, 2024.

“Weakness in the barometer and related indices provide a signal that farmers are concerned about the possibility of extended weakness in farm incomes, similar to what took place from 2015 to 2019,” said James Mintert, the barometer’s principal investigator and director of Purdue University’s Center for Commercial Agriculture.

August’s survey results indicate a shift among farmers’ primary concerns, with 30% of respondents identifying lower commodity prices as their primary concern, compared to 33% who cited high input costs. Last year at this time only 20% pointed to weak commodity prices as a top concern.

However, concerns about rising interest rates have lessened, with only 17% of farmers mentioning this issue, down from 24% last year. Looking ahead, 68% of respondents expect interest rates to decrease in the coming year, while just 19% anticipate an increase.

The Farm Financial Performance Index dropped 9 points from July’s survey and 14 points from a year ago, reaching its lowest level since July 2020, when there was widespread uncertainty from COVID-related lockdowns. The decline in financial performance reflects ongoing concerns about weak financial conditions. In turn, weakening financial conditions led many farmers to say that now is not a good time to invest, resulting in the Farm Capital Investment Index falling 7 points to 31, matching its all-time low.

“Farmers have also become less optimistic about farmland values this summer than in recent years,” said Mintert. “The percentage of farmers who think farmland values could decline within the upcoming year has been rising, which is consistent with the weak outlook for financial conditions. The weak capital investment index reading suggests farmers are going to pull back on capital expenditures.”

Respondents’ outlook on farmland values faded in August, with the Short-Term Farmland Value Expectations Index dropping 13 points to 105. This marks a 21-point decline from a year ago and a 41-point drop from three years ago, when the index was at its peak. The decrease is attributable to a rise in the percentage of producers expecting farmland values to decline over the next year, increasing from 13% in July to 24% in August. The Long-Term Farmland Value Index also fell, dropping 4 points to 142.

Despite concerns about weakening farm income, a majority of respondents expect farmland cash rental rates for the 2025 crop year to remain stable. According to this month’s survey, 70% of U.S. crop farmers anticipate that rental rates will stay the same, while only 16% expect a decline in lease rates.
